Dharamshala: A couple was killed after an SUV allegedly mowed them down at Badauli village of Una district late on Sunday night, police said on Monday.
Both were declared dead on arrival. Based on a complaint by Onkar Singh’s father, police found that Jarnail Singh had allegedly rammed his Thar into the couple. The accused, who also sustained injuries, was initially admitted to RH, Una, and later referred to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh. Preliminary investigations point to past disputes between the two parties, though police are probing the immediate trigger. An FSL team inspected the crime scene, while senior police officials, including the SP, ASP, and Sadar SHO, visited the spot. Following a commotion at the hospital by the victims’ relatives, police were deployed to maintain law and order.
Una superintendent of police (SP) Rakesh Singh said Sadar police received information late at night that Onkar Singh and his wife had been rushed to the Regional Hospital (RH) at Una with serious injuries.
Investigation is underway.
