Jalandhar: A shocking double murder has rocked the Avtar Nagar locality in Jalandhar, Punjab, after a man allegedly killed his wife and father following a severe domestic dispute. The grim incident occurred in Street Number 7, instantly creating a wave of panic and fear among local residents. The accused, identified by authorities as Heera Lal, reportedly committed the brutal crime against his father, Ayodhya Prakash, and his wife, Savita, before immediately fleeing the scene to evade capture.
Preliminary police investigations have revealed that the accused was severely addicted to drugs and had engaged in a heated argument with his family members earlier that day. At the time of the violent attack, Heera Lal’s elderly mother, who suffers from significant mobility issues, was present on the first floor of the residence. Her inability to move freely left her isolated from the tragic events unfolding elsewhere in the house.
Upon receiving urgent information about the crime, local law enforcement officials rushed to the property, securing the area and taking the bodies into custody for further forensic examination. Authorities have formally registered a criminal case and initiated a comprehensive investigation to piece together the exact sequence of events. Multiple police teams have been aggressively deployed across the region to trace the escape route of the absconding suspect and ensure his swift arrest.
