Mohali, August 29 

To get a clue into the double murder of a young married couple at Fatwaan village near Kurali, the Mohali police are suspecting it to be the handiwork of migrants and other persons, working or residing near the spot.

The police who have already rounded up several migrants, working in fields around the spot, suspect that the sole motive behind the murder was rape. “The miscreants seem to be three to four in number and they did not touch anything in the room of a tubewell house, in which the couple was residing”, said inspector Amarbir Singh, the Station House Officer of the Kurali police station. 

The couple, identified as Pankaj Pandit (23) and his wife (18), was found murdered on the rooftop of the tubewell house .— TNS
