RAJPURA -The city police fished out bodies of four members of a family hailing from Gajju-Kherha village in Banur along with their Alto car from the Bhakra-Nirwana canal. The family had been missing for the past four days and the police had registered a case under Section 174 of the CrPC at the Ganda Kherhi police station.
The police identified the victims as Sushil Kumar (36), Anju Rani (34), their daughter Anshu (12) and son Ankush (8), who were on their way back to their village in Banur, three days ago. The police claimed that the incident took place late in the evening.
Though the police has not ruled out any foul play in the incident, prima facie the cops suspected that the husband and wife could have had an argument with the husband who was driving the car, following which he turned towards the canal and in a fit of rage let the car inside canal.
Superintendent Police, Rajpura, Manmohan Sharma, claimed that though the police had a message pertaining to missing family from Banur, three days back the police station in Ganda-Kherhi heard a shrieking sound near the water canal adjacent to the police station. “However, when the police team reached the spot and tried to see, they could not make out anything and yesterday evening, divers were roped and they saw the car drowned in the water canal,” Sharma added.
