CHANDIGARH: A Mohali resident allegedly stabbed his daughter’s mother-in-law to death at her Sector 55 home here.

The police arrested the suspect, identified as Ved Parkash Kalra, from the scene, claiming the latter had told them his daughter was being harassed by her husband’s family members.

According to the police on Thursday, the incident occurred at about 11:30 pm on Wednesday night when Kalra, a resident of Phase II in Mohali, was alleged to have repeatedly stabbed the 50-year-old victim, identified as Nirmala Babbar, following an altercation. He was reportedly under the influence of liquor at that time and had brought the knife with him. Nirmala’s son, Ravi Babbar, who sells diamonds and had just returned home at that time, was also injured in an attempt to save his mother.

Narrating the events leading up to his mother’s murder, Ravi said he had married his wife, Amrita Babbar, four years ago. They lived with their three-year old son and his mother. His wife had gone to her parent’s home on April 4 following a quarrel between them. The police said Amrita is a graduate while Ravi had only completed high school, which might be a possible cause behind their souring relationship.

Sector 39 police station SHO inspector Janak Rana said the suspect had brought a 10-inch long dagger with him, which was recovered from the house. He was produced before a local court that remanded him to judicial custody. A case of murder has been registered and the body was handed over to the family members after the postmortem.
