Kurukshetra:

A 40-year-old man allegedly committed suicide after murdering his wife and parents and attempting to kill his teenage son, police said on Sunday.

Superintendent of Police Varun Singla said that the police have recovered a purported suicide note written by Dushyant Singh and an investigation is on to find out the circumstances of the deaths.

A preliminary inquiry has found that Singh was struggling with some financial disputes, officials said.

The police suspect that Singh poisoned his wife, Amandeep Kaur, and murdered his father, Naib Singh, by slitting his throat. He smothered to death his mother, Amrit Kaur, and also tried to strangulate his son, Keshav Singh (13), before consuming poison himself.

The boy was found unconscious and has been admitted to a hospital, the officials said.

The police said when a relative of Naib Singh went to their house Sunday morning he found it locked from inside.

Not getting any response, he broke open the door. The police said he found Naib Singh and Amrit Kaur in a pool of blood. They were lying on a bed in their room on the ground floor of the house.

Dushyant Singh, his wife and son were found on the first floor of the house in a critical condition. They were rushed to a private hospital where Singh and his wife died.

Mahendragarh:

A woman was shot dead in broad daylight at a bus stand here on Friday, the police said.

The shooting triggered a commotion as people at the bus stand ran helter-skelter in panic. The victim has been identified as Munni Devi, a resident of Khudana village in Mahendragarh district.

Munni Devi and her husband Dinesh had come to Mahendragarh for some work and were waiting at the bus stand to return to their village when a young man approached and shot her on the head.

Munni Devi fell unconscious from the gunshot. She was rushed to the Mahendragarh Civil Hospital, where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The police soon reached the crime scene and began the investigation.

The incident was captured on CCTV, which shows a masked assailant shooting Munni Devi and then striking her twice on the waist before fleeing. He stumbled on the road but managed to escape, with several onlookers pursuing him.

The victim’s husband claimed that the shooting was the result of an ongoing land dispute. He also identified the assailant as his nephew, who, along with others named Rohit and Vishnu, had previously threatened him.

Local police station in-charge Sudhir Kumar confirmed that the murder is linked to a land dispute between two families.

A case has been registered and the investigation is going on, he said, adding that the accused will be arrested soon.
