Woman gets life term for murdering six years old son

SHAHKOT 31 MARCH

A Jalandhar district and Sessions Court has sentenced Kulwinder Kaur, the wife of Surjit Singh, a resident of Sohal village and mother of the deceased Arashdip Singh (6) to life imprisonment.

The court slapped a fine of Rs 50 000. The court said this is serious and sensitive, in which a mother murdered her innocent son, and such a crime needs a hard and heavy sentence to give society a clear message.

 

Avatar Singh grandfather of Arashdip Singh, had complained to the Shahkot police that his son was in Italy and he was living with his wife, daughter-in-law, and grandson in his house, and slept in different rooms.

He had said that his daughter-in-law murdered his grandson with a knife after fighting with his wife, as the child was more attached to his grandmother, adding that such a fight was a routine.

He had said that after the noise from her room, he continuously knocked at the door, which she opened after a long time, adding that when he entered the room, his grandson was profusely bleeding, and he rushed Arashdip to Nakodar Civil Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead. He had said that Kulwindar Kaur had tried to attack him, but he escaped unhurt somehow.

Avtar Singh had said that after some time, his daughter-in-law tried to commit suicide by jumping from the rooftop and was seriously injured, and his relatives rushed her to a Nakodar clinic.

 

The Shahkot police had registered a case under section 302(murder) of the Indian Penal Code against the accused on   June 8, 2020.
