Sukhpal Kaur was the mother of three children
In the village Ghudda in the district of Bhatinda, Punjab, a son together with three of his accomplices murdered his mother suspecting her of having an affair with a local man.
After the son, named Jasvir Singh, a Nihang Singh, got to know about the affair, he planned to kill his mother, Sukhpal Kaur, with the help of his companions.
Jasvir Singh, aged 33, is from the village of Kotguru in Sangat Mandi, Bathinda, Punjab, and an employee of Gurudwara Kaulsar Sahib Niyamawali in Amritsar.
A case has been registered by Punjab police accusing four people of the murder, including the son.
Three of the accused accomplices were tracked down and arrested within three days of the initial report of the incident.
The accomplices of Jasvir Singh have been identified as Jagtar Singh, Mangat Singh, both residents of village Dod in Faridkot and Joginder Singh from Faridkot.
