Click to play videoNew Delhi: In a murder carried out on alleged instructions from a woman in Canada, an NRI and his uncle's son were killed in Punjab on Valentine's Day.
The murder was allegedly carried out as the victim Jasbir Singh had spurned his lover in Canada of three years to marry someone else in India.
Two days after the incident, the police are still looking for a breakthrough.
Jasbir was shot dead in his car on the night before his marriage after he was forced to stop by another vehicle. A man jumped out and sprayed it with gunfire, killing Jasbir and his cousin.
Incidentally, the murder took place just a day after Jasbir's sister’s marriage.
"Jasbir's sister got married a day before Jasbir was to get married, which was the Valentine’s Day. He was not engaged to anyone previously,” Jasbir’s relative Jaswinder Singh says.
The prime accused in the case is Jasbir’s ex-girlfriend Aman Gill who is an NRI residing in Canada. Jasbir had allegedly spurned her and come to India to get married.
Police allege Aman organised the murder from Canada through her brother. Police initially thought it to be a case of road rage, but doubts surfaced when they saw how precisely Jasbir was targeted. Their investigations revealed Aman had threatened Jasbir earlier.
"Someone overtook the car. Then one boy fired some gunshots on Jasbir. Jasbir died on the spot," SSP Moga Ashok Batth says.
“He was 5 and a half feet tall and he shot Jasbir," says a witness Charanjit Singh.
Police have now registered a case against Aman and her brother Sewak, both living in Toronto. Moga Police have also begun the hunt for the contract killers and process to extradite Aman from Canada.
