‘Honour killing’: Victim’s family allege political nexus behind inaction

Gurmukh Singh, a family member of the victim, said that a murder case was registered after the recovery of the body but no arrest has been made yet. Sensing the tension, heavy police force was deployed near Dugri flyover and senior officers assured arrest of the accused. SHO of Model Town and Dugri police stations also pacified the family.

Kairon’s family claims that the deceased committed suicide and they have nothing to do with the matter. Inspector Manjit Singh from Dugri police station said that police is conducting raids to arrest Kairon who is absconding.
