In Khanna, Punjab, Manjit Singh and Harpreet Kaur, both married and related as distant relatives, were found dead with gunshot wounds in a hotel room. Police investigations indicate Manjit shot Harpreet before taking his own life using an unlicensed 9mm pistol. Authorities are probing how the weapon was obtained and have registered a murder case.
