The woman allegedly strangulated and stabbed them with the help of her ‘paramour’ who is said to be a granthi at a gurdwara in Data village.

The accused woman had got annoyed with her in-laws for creating a hurdle in her extramarital affair with the granthi. The woman tried to paint the matter as robbery and murder, but during the police investigation and circumstantial evidence, the matter was exposed. The police have arrested the woman and the granthi after registering a case of murder against them.

According to the DSP, the victim’s son Ravinder Singh told him that he lived in Portugal and had come to his house these days. On January 1, he left the house around 11 in the morning and returned around 10.15pm. When he returned the door of the house was locked from inside and smoke was visible inside.

He broke open the door inside and saw that his wife Mandeep Kaur was tied to a chair with a cloth in the room, but as soon as she touched the cloth to open it, the cloth worked itself loose. Then he went to his parents’ room and saw that the door of his parents’ room was closed. When he opened the door, he saw that there was a fire burning inside and the bodies of his parents were in flames.

When he asked Mandeep, she told him that around 4 pm, three persons entered the house and tied her to a chair in her room and closed the door. She said the threesome ignited the fire.

According to the DSP, during investigation it came to light that Jasmeet Singh, who was originally a resident of Sanghar village in Amritsar, worked as a granthi in a gurdwara of Data village, had a love affair with Mandeep. Mandeep used to consider her mother-in-law and father-in-law as an obstacle in the way of her affair. Therefore, after her husband left house at 11am, she called her lover to home and both killed them and then set the dead bodies on fire so as to destroy the evidence. After the incident, both of them stole jewellery from the house, with Jasmeet took along with him and the police had recovered it from him.

Ravinder said he settled in Portugal soon after his marriage. After a few days while living there, he got to know that his wife talked daily to some unidentified person late at night on the phone for hours. Ravinder even warned Mandeep against her affair, but she just ignored it. They even had several disputes over the matter. Ravinder said Mandeep kept threatening to kill his parents and due to this warning, he came to India on December 7 last year.
