Jalandhar (Punjab) [India], October 2 (ANI): Jalandhar SSP Mukhwinder Singh on Monday made a major revelation in the Jalandhar triple death case and said on Monday that the three girls were killed by their own father due to the extreme poverty faced by the family. According to the accused father, the children resorted to scavenging for fallen food items, illustrating the extreme conditions the family was facing.
The victims, identified as Amrita Kumari (9), Kanchan Kumari (7), and Vasu (3) tragically fell prey to the poverty-stricken circumstances of the family.
Earlier during the day, DSP Balbir Singh had expressed the police team’s suspicion about the mysterious death of the three girls and the way their bodies were found in a trunk. “…we have our suspicions about the whole matter although there are no marks of any sort on the body or the neck…” said DSP Singh.
“… We had received information about the three children missing…the parents are labourers and were living on rent…the parents went for duty in the morning and couldn’t find their children upon coming back…” said DSP Balbir Singh.
“Search operation was conducted the entire night…next day in the morning our sub inspector Major Singh went to the same house next morning, the bodies of the three girls found between a trunk in the room…” he added.
DSP Singh further said that during the investigation, the father of the three girls had said that possibly, the girls entered the trunk while playing and the trunk closed itself upon them and they might have died due to suffocation. (ANI)
