Two persons, who allegedly killed a woman for desecrating the holy book of the Sikhs, surrendered before a local court today.

Nihal Singh of Patiala and Gurpreet Singh of Sangrur, accused of killing Balwinder Kaur, surrendered in the court of Judicial Magistrate Lakhwinder Kaur here.

After the medical check up of the duo, the court handed over them to the police.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Ludhiana, Dhruman Nimble said police would seek remand of the both accused from the court for further investigations.

Balwinder, a 'sewadar' at Gurudwara, was arrested on October 18 last year for the alleged desecration in Ghwaddi village and was out on bail.
 

On July 26, she was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants.
