become victims of honour killing.
Body of Gagandeep, who belonged to a Dalit family and was having a
love affair with a girl of Jat Sikh family from the same village, was
found at the bank of a canal in Badni village in Moga district on

girl. The duo was caught by the girl's relatives Kulwant Singh,
Sukhchain Singh and Jugraj Singh at Jagraon bus stand.
