Four members of a family, including two women, in Sharifpura were booked after a man committed suicide in Green Avenue here on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Jasdeep Singh. The accused, Jaspreet Kaur (wife), Gurmeet Singh (father-in-law), Daljit Kaur (mother-in-law) and Harmeet Singh (brother-in-law), all residents of Mohalla Sharifpura, have been booked for allegedly forcing the deceased to end his life.
Harminder Kaur, sister of the deceased, stated in her complaint to the Civil Lines police that Jasdeep got married to Jaspreet Kaur in 2011. The couple had a son. She alleged that the accused had been harassing her brother and also tried to occupy his property. Following a dispute in 2015, Jaspreet Kaur went to her mother’s house along with her child.
