Woman found dead: Police look for man seen near DLF 2 house, scooter recovered

Gurgaon: A series of strange events allegedly happened during the week preceding the death of Gurmel Kaur (74), who was found with her throat slit in her DLF 2 house on Saturday, claimed neighbours at the J-block society.
The residents of the three-storey building, where Kaur lived with her husband Harnek Singh Dhillon (77), said many of them heard loud noises coming from Dhillon’s flat on October 14.

A woman living in the same building said they also heard a man’s voice (other than that of Dhillon), which caused suspicion among the residents who were sitting in a nearby park then.

Soon, a crowd had gathered outside the building, trying to find out the reason behind the commotion.

The woman and other neighbours then phoned Kaur to check if everything was fine. “We called aunty, but she wasn’t home then. She asked us to go and check if her husband was alright. So we sent a neighbour’s driver and son to check on Dhillon. But he partially opened the door and asked them to leave,” a neighbour claimed. But the commotion continued, she added.

The neighbours then called Kaur again and asked her to rush back home soon. When Kaur returned, two men accompanied her to her flat. Even this time, the two men weren’t allowed inside the home and were sent back from the door.

“When the driver came back, he told us that aunty looked petrified,” said another resident living next door, requesting anonymity.

The Dhillons were not at home between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon and they got their car washed on Tuesday, the neighbours claimed. On Tuesday, a woman came to the area, looking for her husband, Jaskaran, along with cops from Sector 29 police station. “The police had accessed the CCTV footage that showed the man coming here on his scooter. But he was never seen leaving the place. His scooter was also found parked here,” said a woman who lives in the same building.

Cops at Sector 29 police station confirmed this. “We had received a missing person’s complaint for Jaskaran (51) and an FIR has been registered. However, we have not found any lead in the matter yet,” said a senior police officer.

After that, Kaur reached out to her neighbours, allegedly asking them to cooperate in case cops turned up for inquiries and asked about them.

When neighbours asked her about the commotion in the house on Sunday, Kaur told the neighbours that her husband had been attacked by monkeys, said a neighbour who received a call from Kaur’s family in Patiala on Saturday morning. They were trying to reach the couple as Kaur’s father had passed away on Friday night.

When the couple didn’t reply despite calls or messages, they got worried and contacted this neighbour.

The neighbour further said that while Kaur was a very pleasant and social woman, her husband mostly kept to himself. They had been living at this address for more than 15 years.
