Amritsar, July 13

Mystery shrouds the disappearance of a woman and her daughter in Mohkampura area. While her family members accused her live-in partner of allegedly killing both of them, the police have registered a case of kidnapping against the suspect and his unidentified five accomplices in this connection.

SHO Mohkampura police station Sukhdev Singh said on the complaint of woman’s mother on May 13, the police had booked Sandeep Singh of Guru Ki Wadali and started further probe. The case was registered on Monday following preliminary probe.

Complainant Sukhwinder Kaur, a resident of Nangali village, told the police that her elder daughter Ramandeep Kaur (45) was married to Ranjit Singh of Ghanupur Kale village around 17 years ago. The couple had three children from the marriage. Four years ago, Ranjit constructed his own house in Guru Ki Wadali and shifted with his family. She said Ramandeep came in contact with one Sandeep Singh. In 2019, the accused made illicit relations with her and both of them started living in Faizpura locality.

She said she along with her relative met Ramandeep and tried convincing her to return to her husband Ranjit Singh, but she refused. She said during this time, she gave birth to a baby girl. They later shifted to Jaura Fatak area. She said Ramandeep called her aunt and informed her about this. But this did not go down well with Sandeep, who deleted all her contacts from her mobile and since then, she was not in touch with anyone. She alleged that she came to know that the accused killed Ramandeep and her daughter and disposed of their bodies.

She said she along with some relatives went to their house, where the owner informed that they lived there for six months only after which he called his five companions in December last year and they took away all their stuff. A case of kidnapping under Sections 364 and 34 of the IPC was registered and further investigations were on to trace them.
