In a suspected case of honour killing in Bathinda,a man murdered his sister and the man she had eloped with nearly 10 months ago. Santosh has been on the run since the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday when he allegedly stabbed to death his sister Anju and her lover Tony,both in their mid-twenties. Anju had come back to her parents house with Tony,it is learnt. Bathinda Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill said it was not immediately known whether Anju had come to her parents house for the first time after she eloped with Tony,a resident of the same locality. A couple of years ago,he said,Anju was married to one Raju,who was later sent to jail for allegedly killing Anjus mother. With Raju in jail,Anju and Tony developed intimacy. The police have,meanwhile,arrested Santoshs wife,who was allegedly an accomplice in the crime. The police said the couple tried to pass off the murders as an accident by throwing the bodies on a railway track near their house.
