Four of a family stabbed to death in Dehradun

Jai, who was in the advertising business, had married two women and the accused Harmeet is his son from his second wife Anita who currently stays in UP’s Saharanpur city.  As per the police theory, Harmeet’s fear was that his father might transfer his properties to Harjeet who he (his father Jai) had adopted as his daughter.

The incident came to light on Friday morning after the domestic help had reached the house. Police said Harmeet had asked her to return from there on the plea that there was no water at home. She smelt foul play and shared it with Jai’s some neighbors. Police reached the house and recovered the bodies.

“Jai Singh was killed with brutality. There were several injury marks on his bodies,” the station house officer of Cantt police station V K Jetha recalled. He added police are examining the CDR (Call Detail Records) of the cell-phone. He confirmed that police have recovered the weapons which were used in this crime.

Police sources said Jai had ended relation with his second wife, whose son is the accused Harmeet, following a legal settlement. “After legal settlement about nine years back, Harmeet started living with his father Jai Singh in Dehradun. His mother stays in Sahranpur,” a source in the Dehradun police said.

Police are now on the job to collect evidences in support of its theory behind the killings of all the four persons. “We would interrogate Jai’s neighbors to collect information about the possibility of other persons’ involvement in this incident. Some neighbors told us that Jai was last seen around 11.30 pm on the night of Diwali festival,” a source in the Cannt police station said.
