Gurkaramdeep allegedly died by suicide on Sunday. “Struggling to cope with her husband’s death, Jasmine also died by suicide on Monday. She was taken to a private hospital in Patila but died. She told the family before dying that she did not want to live after her husband’s death,” said Station House Officer Kumar.
Navjot Kaur, a woman from the same village, has been charged with abeting suicide based on a complaint by Gurkaramdeep’s mother Chhindarpal Kaur.
Chhindarpal Kaur has told the police that her son had been in a relationship with Navjot Kaur, who is also a distant relative. Gurkaramdeep ended all contact with Navjot after his wedding, but she kept harassing him and blackmailing him, his mother alleges. Navjot allegedly also tried to frame Gurkaramdeep in a rape case. According to Chhindarpal Kaur, before dying her son told the family that he had been under severe mental stress because of the constant harassment and threats.
