Amritsar, August 20: A 38-year-old man stabbed his brother and sister to death after an argument in Amritsar on Saturday night. The deceased are Chandan Kumar (40), a police inspector posted in Kapurthala district and Bindu Bala (45).
The accused, Deepak Kumar, has been arrested and a murder case has been registered against him on the statement of his mother Usha Rani. Usha is a Class IV employee in the local Municipal Corporation.
While Bindu died on the spot, Chandan succumbed to his injures in a hospital two hours later. The incident occurred around 12.30 am. It was Chandan who had informed the police about the incident.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Lakhbir Singh said the police reached the spot and rushed them to a hospital, where doctors declared Bindu dead. Both victims had sustained a number of stab injuries.
He said while Chandan and Bindu were both divorced, Deepak was unmarried. Another sister of them was married in Jalandhar. A preliminary probe revealed that Deepak was upset as he wanted to marry, but Chandan and Bindu didn’t agree as he was not employed.
On Saturday, they had an argument over the issue and in a fit of anger, Deepak stabbed them to death with a knife.
Usha Rani was sleeping in another room at the time of the incident. Hearing the noise, she raised the alarm, following which neighbours came and found the two siblings in a pool of blood. Lakhbir said the police arrested the accused and recovered the murder weapon.
