JALANDHAR: A young couple committed suicide in nearby Jandiala village by consuming celphos tablets and left a suicide note blaming a "false" complaint of dowry harassment filed by their sister-in-law. They had earlier told Hoshiarpur Police, where a complaint of dowry harassment was pending against them, that the complainant was demanding Rs 50 lakh from them to settle the matter.
Harkamal Singh and his wife Amarjit Kaur committed suicide on Tuesday. Sadar police station SHO Onkar Singh Brar said police have recovered a suicide note in which the victims blamed Rajwinder Kaur, wife of Harkamal's brother Sartaj Singh, who is living in Canada. The note said that Rajwinder was tormenting them through a false complaint in which Harkamal's mother was also named.
Police have booked Rajwinder, her mother Malkiat Kaur and a cousin under section 306 of IPC. Earlier, the couple had told police during inquiry of her dowry harassment complaint that she was demanding Rs 50 lakh to withdraw the complaint and settle the dispute, police said. Rajwinder filed the complaint after Sartaj could not manage to take her along to Canada, they said.
