“Man Kills Three Family Members, Surrenders to Police in Jhander Tragedy”
In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves, a man has brutally murdered three members of his own family, including his mother, sister-in-law, and nephew, in the Jhander area on Thursday. The victims were identified as Manbir Kaur (mother), Avreet Kaur (sister-in-law), and Smarth Singh (nephew).
The accused, Amritpal Singh, reportedly suffered from mental distress, leading to the tragic episode. Allegedly wielding a sharp-edged weapon, he mercilessly attacked the victims, resulting in their untimely demise.
Upon learning of the gruesome crime, senior police officials, including the SSP of Amritsar (Rural) and the SP, swiftly arrived at the scene to initiate investigations into the matter.
In a surprising turn of events, the accused voluntarily surrendered himself to the authorities at the local police station, providing crucial details about the horrific incident. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused’s wife, Sharanjit Kaur, and their two children had been residing separately for the past two years. Additionally, his brother had been residing abroad for an extended period, leaving his wife, Avreet Kaur, and nephew under the care of their mother, Manbir Kaur.
Authorities suspect that the accused may be grappling with mental instability, although a conclusive determination is pending. In his statement to the police, he expressed feelings of alienation within his family, citing perceived neglect and disdain as motives for his heinous actions. Investigations into the incident remain ongoing as law enforcement officials endeavor to uncover further details surrounding the tragic events.
