Triple Homicide in Tarn Taran: NRI Couple and Widow Sister-in-Law Murdered, Culprit Flees with Lakhs

Date:

In a small village nestled in the heart of Punjab, a pall of gloom has descended upon the once tranquil settlement of Tung in Harike Pattan town of Tarn Taran district. The community was left reeling as the shocking news broke of a grisly triple murder within a prominent family known for its connections with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) – a major political party in Punjab.

An NRI Family Targeted

Iqbal Singh, an NRI, his wife, and his widowed sister-in-law were victims of a heinous crime that has baffled and horrified their fellow villagers. The tranquility of their lives was brutally shattered when an assailant or assailant, whose motives are yet to be unveiled, snuffed out their lives through strangulation. The aftermath of the tragedy revealed a harrowing scene — the bodies were found in the quiet of their home, with the doors remaining ominously closed well into the morning, an unusual occurrence that raised alarms.

A Breach in the Heart of the Community

The deceased Iqbal Singh, a respected figure in his community and abroad, had returned to his roots in Punjab, bringing with him the success of his overseas endeavors. The former sarpanch Karm Singh, related to Iqbal and a member of the SAD, had passed away, leaving behind a family that has now been further diminished by this incomprehensible crime. The Singh household, once a pillar of strength and resilience, particularly after the loss of Karm Singh, is now the center of a grim investigation.

A Crime That Carries Away More Than Lives

Adding to the brutal loss of life is the theft of valuable possessions. The criminals did not leave empty-handed; they took with them gold jewelry, cash, and even a licensed rifle from the house, suggesting a robbery that escalated into a triple homicide. The absence of Iqbal Singh’s domestic servant, hailing from Bihar, who had not been reported to the authorities, adds a layer of complexity to the case, raising questions and suspicions.

The Aftermath and the Investigation

As the sun rose on a day meant for sacred electoral proceedings within the Sikh community for the head of the Shiromoni Gurdwara Management Committee, the village of Tung was instead awakening to a horror that overshadowed the democratic spirit of the day. The delay in the household’s morning bustle prompted neighbors to notify the police, leading to the discovery of the bodies by the station in-charge, Kewal Singh.

The police have commenced a thorough investigation, piecing together the events that led to the tragic end of three lives. The local community, struck by fear and uncertainty, is anxious for answers and justice. The incident has not only taken away cherished members of a family but has also breached the sense of safety and security that binds the community of Harike Pattan.
