A man reportedly committed suicide by jumping in the Bhakra Canal yesterday. His body was recovered at Ganda Kheri.

The deceased has been identified as Jaswinder Singh, said the police.

On the complaint of Harnek Singh, father of the deceased, the police have registered a case against Gurvindra Kaur, wife of the deceased, Labh Kaur, mother-in-law, and two others — Baljinder Singh and Darshan Singh — under Sections 306 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The complainant said Jaswinder Singh’s wife used to quarrel with him and his in-laws used to interfere and threaten his son.

He said on the night of June 27, his daughter-in-law had a quarrel with his son, after which he left the house on his motorcycle.

Around 11.30 pm, Jaswinder Singh told his brother Balwinder Singh on the phone that he was going to the canal.

The DSP said the body was handed over to the family after a postmortem examination.
