The victim Bawa Singh was allegedly murdered with sharp-edged weapons by his son Kulwant Singh, daughter-in-law Ranjit Kaur and grandson Paramjit Singh (25) on September 27, Deputy Superintendent of Police Harpal Singh said.
Jaswant Kaur, daughter of the victim, told police that his father had made a will in favor of Kulwant's sons, however, later on, Bawa had threatened to withdraw the will.
