3. Succinctly facts of the case are that the FIR has been lodged on the statement of complainant, namely, Rani. It was alleged that her husband had already died. It was alleged that she is having two daughters, namely, Sukhwinder Kaur and Veerpal Kaur, and one son, namely Duni Chand who is married with Suman (petitioner in CRM-M-57697-2025) and they have two daughters and one son. It was alleged that complainant's daughter, namely, Sukhwinder Kaur, being widow is residing with her. The house of her son Duni Chand is adjoining to her house and they can easily see through the house of each other. It was alleged that three children of her son used to sleep with the complainant and her daughter. Duni Chand used to consume liquor occasionally and there used to be fight between Duni Chand and his wife Suman. It was alleged that on 27.09.2022, all the three children came to the complainant's house to sleep. At about 09:00 P.M. when they were sleeping in their house, they heard noise of Duni Chand calling for help. On this, complainant saw that Suman caught hold of head of her son and had put her hand over his mouth. Suman's sister's son Jagvir Singh was having Kapa in his hand while three other persons accompanying him were also armed with arms and were inflicting injuries to her son. When complaiant raised alarm, all the assailants fled away from the spot after giving threats to kill them if they dared to disclose anything to anybody, due to which they did not dare to come out of the house. On 28.09.2022 she came out and disclosed about the incident to the neighbourers that her son Duni Chand had been killed by his son's wife Suman, his sister's son Jagvir and three others with sharp weapons. Thus, request was made to take legal action against the accused. On the registration of the FIR, investigation commenced. Petitioner-Suman was arrested on 28.09.2022 and petitioner-Saurav @ Kaka was arrested on 30.09.2022.
