After committing the crime Gabrial first tried to strangle her to death but later killed her with a brick. He later dumped the body in a haystack in fields along the drain. The parents of the victim launched a search when they found their daughter missing after they returned from their jobs. Hailing from Madhya Pradesh, Luxman, father of the girl, approached Rakesh Kumar, former sarpanch of the village, and finally a report was lodged with the Maqsudan police station.

BJP flays Dal Khalsa over jagran march
Hoshiarpur, November 2 Talking to mediapersons here today, they said such move from any quarter would be crushed with strong hands. India was a sovereign state and all of its citizens were free to work or settle in any part of the country. Narrow politics could lead the country towards disunity and disintegration, which could not be tolerated, they asserted. MNS chief Raj Thakery had become a tool in the hands of the Congress, which was playing a dirty game at the cost of the country’s unity and integration for petty political gains in the forthcoming parliamentary elections
and to weaken the NDA constituents, alleged both leaders. They said under the influence of the provocative speeches of Raj Thakery, the activists of the MNS mercilessly beat North Indians due to which some youths had lost their lives. The MNC activists had badly damaged public property also. Blaming the police for “falsely implicating” Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in terrorist activities by getting conducted her polygraph test, they said no Hindu terrorism was prevailing in any part of the country. The Congress had been trying to defame against Hindus. The Congress had adopted divide and rule policy only to remain in power. Replying to a question, they said keeping in
view the widened base of the BJP in Punjab, the party would demand more seats from the
SAD for fielding its candidates in various constituencies of the state. |

P K Jaiswar Tribune News Service
Amritsar, November 2 Sukhwinderjit Kaur of Chatiwind Lehal village had complained to senior police authorities that the accused used to severely beat and thrash her daughter and victim Karamjit for bringing in more dowry even though he had already been given more than Rs five lakh by them. A case under section 364, 498-A has been registered against Ravi Pal at the B-division police station here. No arrest has been made so far as the accused had gone to Italy, said SHO Manjit Singh of the police station. Narrating the incident, Sukhwinderjit said her daughter was married to Ravi Pal in 1998 and had two daughters. She said her daughter used to complain to them a number of times about the dowry demand and harassment by her husband. However, they continued to give money as they wanted to save the married life of her daughter. Sukhwinderjit said on January 2007, she went to her house of her daughter but was surprised to see her missing from the house. Her son-in-law could not give a satisfactory answer as to karamjit might be. He said she had left the house without telling anybody, leaving a letter behind. She later came to know that her daughter had been missing for the last two months at that time. Suspecting foul play, she immediately reported the matter to the SSP who marked an enquiry to the then SP city Kaustubh Sharma. However, the probe changed a number of hands due to transfers of enquiry officers before the final report was submitted by SP headquarter, Surinder Singh a couple of days back.
