A woman allegedly attempted suicide in Jalandhar’s Shahkot after she killed her son. The woman decided to kill her six-year-old son as she feared that he loved his grandmother more than her. The accused was identified as Kulwinder Kaur.
After killing her son, Kaur jumped from the second floor of her house and ended her life on Monday night. The woman, however, managed to survive. She is undergoing treatment at the civil hospital in Nakodar.
The 30-year-old accused’s husband lives in Italy. She lives with her in-laws along with her son. Allegedly, Kaur’s relationship with her mother-in-law Charanjit Kaur was not cordial and she used to be upset as her son spent a lot of time with his grandparents. The accused was allegedly jealous of her mother-in-law as her son spent more time with her.
On Monday, the family had dinner, following which, Kaur’s six-year-old son went to his grandparents. Furious with her son, Kaur took to him to her room and allegedly stabbed him twice using a kitchen knife.
On hearing the cries of six-year-old Arshpreet, Charanjit Kaur and her husband went to Kaur’s room and saw him bleeding profusely. The six-year-old died while his grandparents were taking him to the hospital, Hindustan Times reported.
Allegedly, Kaur told her in-laws that she had killed the child and jumped off the roof of her home. Sukhwinder Singh, Shahkot station house officer (SHO) said that they have registered a case of murder against the accused.
