Ferozepur, Punjab

Two arrested for killing five of Ferozepur family

With the arrest of two persons, Ferozepur police have claimed to have solved the mystery behind the sensational murder of five members of a family in Talwandi Bhai. The incident had created a lot of unrest in the victims' native district of Purnia, Bihar. The accused had also killed the lone survivor, whose body is yet to be found.

The police received information from a resident of Talwandi about a foul smell emanating from Banke Bihari's residence, whose wife and daughter worked as domestic help at his place. On arrival, the police found the decomposed bodies of Banke Bihari, his wife, sons and daughter-in-law. The accused, Wakeel Singh and Jaspreet Singh, had slit their throats.

The motive behind the murders was revealed to be revenge. Wakeel had befriended Bihari's daughter and started having an illicit relationship with her. He convinced her to give pills to all family members on the day of the tragedy, with the intention of eloping with her. Wakeel and Jaspreet murdered all family members, including the girl, and threw her body into a canal. The police have recovered the weapons used in the crime and are trying to retrieve the girl's body.

The bodies of all victims have been sent to their native village in Bihar by the district administration. The arrest of the accused has brought some closure to the case, but the tragedy has left the community in shock and mourning.
