Punjab: A police constable allegedly shot dead a woman and her daughter before committing suicide in a village here in Punjab early on Monday, police said.
The women were identified as Prem Lata, a 40-year-old with whom constable Harvinder Singh, two years younger to her, allegedly had an illicit relationship for many months.
Police gave the name of the younger woman as Ram Lalli, 24. Deputy Superintendent of Police Sant Singh Dhariwal said that Harvinder Singh went to Prem Lata's house and first locked her husband in a room.
After an argument, he fired at Prem Lata and her daughter from his self loading rifle before shooting himself. He fired 15 times from his rifle in all, the officer said.
Prem Lata's husband Ram Asra insisted that he had no knowledge that his wife was friendly with the killer.
