Man convicted of murder of two sisters in Chandigarh’s Sec 22, sentencing on Feb 9

Police told the court that Kuldeep was in a relationship with Manpreet, but the two had fallen out in the months preceding the incident. Investigators said the accused suspected that Manpreet was involved with another person.

The prosecution further stated that Kuldeep had come in contact with Manpreet while working at a call centre in 2010. On the day of the incident, he allegedly entered the sisters’ room to check Manpreet’s mobile phones to ascertain the identity of the person he suspected she was involved with.

During this time, Rajwant woke up and objected to his presence. Kuldeep allegedly attacked her with a pair of scissors taken from the kitchen, killing her. Manpreet was also murdered during the incident.

During the trial, the defence argued that the accused had been implicated. However, after hearing the arguments and examining the evidence on record, the court held Kuldeep guilty of the offence.
