A PU student was stabbed to death in front of her mother and brother by her maternal uncle in Sector 41 of Chandigarh for allegedly having a male friends.
The victim, Anjali Malik (22) was a student at Panjab University and preparing for NEET.
The accused was identified as Satbir Singh, who had jumped bail in a 2008 double murder case in Jhajjar, Haryana. Anjali was stabbed multiple times on her neck and was declared dead at GMSH-16.
Satbir allegedly had objections over Anjali’s proximity with her male friends.
The police said the victim’s mother Nirmala Devi and younger brother, Deepak (20) were present in the house when the murder took place around 5.30 am. Satbir had locked the door of Deepak’s room from outside before killing Anjali.
The officials said that Anjali’s mother claimed that when Satbir stabbed her daughter, she was preparing tea in the kitchen. Deepak informed the police that he was sleeping when he heard the cries of his sister. He said that he tried to come out of his room but found the door locked from outside. His door was opened by his mother.
Deepak received injuries on his left arm as he smashed the glass window of his room when he woke up after he heard Anjali’s screams.
Anjali’s mother also claimed that Satbir does not use a cell phone. Satbir escaped from the spot after the crime. He had been staying with the family since August 18.
Anjali’s father, Jagdish Malik, was killed in a road accident three months back in Hisar, Haryana. He was a senior auditor with the Accountant General (AG), Haryana.
The police however are recording statements of all the family members and cross verifying the facts.
The convict, Satbir had murdered his wife, Sushma Devi, and mother-in-law, Kamla Devi, with a sharp edged weapon at his village, Surha, in Jhajjar in 2008. He was convicted for the double murder in February, 2011. He was released on bail around two years ago and later jumped the bail.
