JAIPUR: A 21-year-old youth killed his married elder sister with an axe at her maternal home in Peelibanga town of Hanumangarh district on Sunday night before escaping.
“After the family had their dinner, Gagandeep accused his 24-year-old sister Indira Kaur of having an illicit relationship. This triggered an argument between the two. As the spat became heated, Gagandeep axed her to death and fled from the scene,” said a senior officer of Peelibanga police station on Monday.
After the attack, everyone in the house rushed to the room. “She was lying in a pool of blood and succumbed to injuries right there. Their father Manga Singh lodged a case of murder against his son,” the officer added.
Police said the murder was executed in a fit of rage. “Our teams are raiding various places and the accused will be arrested soon. We have recovered the axe used in the murder from the house itself,” the officer added.
