Attackers kill woman with lathis

Sangrur, February 17

A 45-year-old woman Amarjit Kaur, wife of Sher Singh, resident of Ealwal village, near here, was killed last night when some persons allegedly attacked her house.

Sangrur SSP Arun Pal Singh said today that as per the complaint, lodged by the deceased’s son, some persons attacked their house and hit his mother on the head with lathis due to which she died. He further said their family and the alleged assailants were interested in the purchase of a plot of land. The land was, however, bought by the deceased’s family. This annoyed the other party and they allegedly attacked the house of the deceased, he added.

The SSP said the police had registered a case against Jagdev Singh, Amrik Singh, Ajmer Singh and Gurmail Singh under Sections 302 and 452, IPC.
