JALANDHAR: Police have arrested three youths, who had thrown acid on a girl in Nadala village of Kapurthala district in India. One of the arrested youths, Jaspreet Singh, was based in Dubai and had executed the crime at the behest of his France-based cousin Kamaljeet Singh’s Sri Lankan wife.
SSP Ashish Chaudhary said that the Sri Lankan woman wanted to deface Kamaljeet’s girlfriend back home in Kapurthala district as he was reportedly set to dump her and marry his girlfriend. Kamaljeet had managed to get residency in France on the basis of the Sri Lankan woman’s status there, but then decided to ditch her once he got the papers to live there. In a bid to stop him from ditching her, his Sri Lankan wife roped in Jaspreet for defacing the girl.
Jaspreet then came to India, but stayed at Chintpurni and involved Jagjiwan and Sarbjot of his Khanpur village to throw acid on the girl, who was working in a hospital at Nadala. However, the two threw acid on a wrong girl, Daljit Kaur, in her early 20s, who was also working in the same hospital. The acid burned the girl’s face and head.
Jaspreet told the cops that he was allured by the France-based woman with the promise that she would get him there, apart from paying money. He struck a deal for Rs 1 lakh with the two accused locals and Rs 30,000 was paid to them as advance.
The case was given to Jalandhar police after victim’s father asked police to shift the case out of Kapurthala as cops there had failed, Times of India reported.
