Baljit Kaur stated to the police that her husband used to work as labourer, while his elder brother Ravekl Singh had died.

She said Ravel’s daughter Kavita was married to Sonu and has been living in the (Ravel’s) share of the property. She alleged that they often used to quarrel with her husband over their share of property.

She alleged on Wednesday night when her husband just reached outside the house, Sonu along with other accomplices attacked him with sharp edged weapons, leaving him critically injured. She said she raised an alarm following with the accused fled away from the scene.

She said they rushed Jaila to Majitha government hospital from where he was referred to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
