CHANDIGARH – Giving its verdict in an honour killing case, the court of District and Sessions Judge here has convicted four persons including an uncle and cousin of the victim’s wife. Gurpreet Singh was killed on September 20, 2009 in Faridkot town when he was on his way to his rented house in Guru Nanak Colony where he was staying with his wife.
Among those convicted are Gurmukh Singh, Gurnaib Singh, Resham Singh and Kulbir Sharma. The court pronounced the decision on Monday.
The Faridkot police had booked four persons in a murder case on complaint of Kuldeep Singh, a brother of the deceased.
Gurpreet eloped with the girl and the two had a court marriage. For the next 11 months, the husband and wife stayed at different places to escape the wrath of the latter’s family members, Gurpreet’s brother alleged.
After some time, Gurpreet started living with his wife in a rented room in Guru Nanak Colony in Faridkot.
