LAMBI – Greed of 12 acres of land allegedly led a man to kill his 10-year-old cousin at Sarawan Bodla village in Lambi last night. The accused, Harjit Singh (35), in connivance with his wife Jaswinder Kaur and sister-in-law Kulwinder Kaur, allegedly fired at his cousin Jagmeet Singh with a .12 bore gun.
Sources said Harjit had called Jagmeet to his house to celebrate Diwali and burst crackers along with his son. The sources said Harjit was once adopted by his uncle (chacha) Sukha Singh as the latter was childless. But after two years, Harjit reunited with his parents. Later, Sukha married another woman, who had a son (Jagmeet, then aged six) from her first marriage.
The accused planned to eliminate Jagmeet, who he feared might inherit his uncle’s property. A case has been registered.
