Sirsa Man Surrenders After Killing Mother and Alleged Lover, Police Say

Police say he cited 'family honour' as the motive for the double killing.

Overview

  • Police say the killings occurred late Thursday in Sikanderpur village, where the son strangled both victims with a cloth after finding them together.
  • He then drove about 7 km to the Sadar police station in Sirsa with the bodies and asked officers to register a case.
  • Raj Kumar was taken into custody, teams were sent to the home, the bodies were sent for post-mortem, and a formal investigation is underway.
  • Officials and relatives report a roughly 15-year relationship between the woman and her neighbour that had drawn repeated family objections and village panchayats.
  • Reports name the victims as Angoori or Anguri Devi and Lekh Raj or Lekh Ram, with ages varying by outlet, which police say will be clarified through official records.
