A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court convicted Khushwinder Singh, 45, of Suhavi village in Fatehgarh Sahib, under Sections 302 (murder), 364 (kidnapping or abducting in order to murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of the Indian Penal Code. Khushwinder, who worked as a typist outside a court killed Kulwant Singh, his wife and two children to lay his hands on the Rs 28 lakh that the latter had received as proceeds from the sale of an agricultural land. On June 4 2004, Kulwant, 40, his wife Harjit Kaur, 38, their daughter Ramandeep Kaur, 15 and son Avrinder Singh, 14, had disappeared under mysterious circumstances from their house at Sanghol town in Fatehgarh Sahib.
