“Kamaljeet has been traced and shall be questioned at length,by us tomorrow,” said Sub Inspector Dharambir,Police Station-Gadi,who is investigating the case.

The high court had also summoned Jind Superintendent of Police Ashok Kumar and had asked him about the status of the case. Soon after,the Jind police registered a case on charges of murder and destruction of evidence against Amrit Kaur’s family members. Those booked include her father Balihar Singh,mother Sukhwinder Kaur,unlce Pargat Singh,brothers Daler Singh and Guljar Singh and cousin Satpal Singh. All those booked are yet to be arrested.

Amrit Kaur,27,who was pursuing her MSc at a college in Sangrur had develped an intimate relationship with Kamaljeet,a resident of Patiala. According to the police,she was forced by her parents to leave her studies midway and they brought her back to their home in the village.

“Her parents found that she was five months pregnant and thus she was allegedly electrocuted by her family members at their home last week. Kamaljeet had also gone missing and his mother had approached the high court. Her family members not only murdered her but also cremated her without any post mortem examination. Thus,we have now booked them and are further investigating the matter,” Dharambir told Express.
