A private employee working in PNB in Haryana’s Karnal was found murdered on Saturday, with his throat slit. The police suspect that the murder was the result of a love affair dispute.
The victim has been identified as Ashok Bindal, 40, a resident of Baljit Colony in Asandh. He worked at the Punjab National Bank in Chidawa.
Bindal’s brother, Mahavir, said that Ashok had left home on Thursday night to drop someone off in Naval. His last known location was at 6:57 a.m. on Friday, in the village of Jalmana.
Mahavir said that he had been worried when Ashok did not return home by 8:30 p.m. He searched for his brother in the area, but could not find him. He also checked the hospital, but Ashok was not there.
On Saturday morning, Mahavir and his friends went to Jalmana. When they arrived, they found police at the scene of a crime. The police showed them the body of a man, which Mahavir identified as Ashok.
Mahavir said that Ashok had been having an affair with a woman from Jind. He said that the woman told him that she had spoken to Ashok on the phone at 6:44 a.m. on Friday, and that she had heard him screaming.
Mahavir has accused the woman’s husband, Balraj, of killing Ashok. He said that Balraj had threatened to kill Ashok on the phone.
Asandh SHO Manoj Kumar said that the police received a call from a farmer who had found the body. The police took the body into custody and conducted a post-mortem. The post-mortem revealed that Ashok had been killed with a sharp weapon.
The police are investigating the murder and will take action based on the complaint filed by Ashok’s family.
