According to the family, Ravneet got married in 2018. He sold his house and pawned gold jewellery to send his wife to Australia. She had promised to call Ravneet there after settling in. However, after reaching Australia, she allegedly cut off all contact with him. Since then, he had been under mental stress.

On the night of the incident, he locked himself in his room. The family assumed he was resting. When he didn’t come out for a long time, his brothers broke the door.

According to Thermal Police Station in-charge Jaswinder Singh, the police and forensic team have investigated the scene and the body was sent for post-mortem to the Civil Hospital.
