Ludhiana, On Friday morning,Sandip Singh, 55, a resident of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar was upset because of an ongoing property dispute. So, he killed his wife Amandeep Kaur, 45, daughter Dinaaj Kaur, 17, and mother Bachan Kaur, 70, and then turned the gun on himself.

According to the Family’s domestic helper, “she was in Bachan Kaur’s room when she heard gunshots. She rushed out and saw Sandip Singh with a gun. He warned her to stay away. Intimidated, she rushed to the roof of the house.”

“It seems Sandip first shot his daughter, wife and then mother at 6 am. His body and that of his wife were found in the bedroom on the first floor, his daughter’s near the sofa in the lobby and of his mother on the ground floor”, said Police Commissioner Jatinder Singh Aulakh.

“Sandip could have been in depression because of a property dispute. He had two more weapons. There were no signs of forcible entry into the house,” Aulakh said.

The family, from Mangat village in Ludhiana, had been belonging to BRS Nagar for the past five years. Sandip had both urban and rural property.
