Double murder: Minister meets kin of teen boys, announces Rs 2L each

In the wake of the brutal murder of two teenage boys at Barta village of Kaithal district, Haryana Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Krishan Kumar Bedi visited the grieving families on Wednesday to express his condolences and assure them of swift justice. The deceased, Arman (16) and Prince (14), both residents of the village, were found dead near a drain on Monday morning with multiple sharp-weapon injuries.

Bedi, while consoling the families, said, “Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is deeply saddened by the tragic incident and has sent me to meet the affected families and ensure that justice is delivered swiftly.” He further announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh each to the families of the victims on behalf of the CM.

The Minister also directed senior police and civil officials to take strict and immediate action against all those involved. “No one will be spared. We are committed to ensuring justice to the families and maintaining law and order in the village,” he said.

As per police reports, preliminary investigation suggests that a dispute led to the attack. The victims had allegedly made comments about the sisters of two accused, which sparked retaliation from a group of teenagers. Seven juveniles, aged between 15 and 16, have been detained and police are investigating the involvement of others. A case has been registered under Sections 190, 191(3), 103, 61(2), and the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act by the Sadar police Kaithal.
