A 21-year-old constable was killed by the father of the woman he loved, in a case of honour killing in Punjab, police said on Tuesday. The accused, Balwinder Singh, was arrested on Monday and he has confessed to his crime, police said. The deceased, Sandeep Singh, was from the Balmiki community and was a resident of Choladha village here. He was in love with Karamdeep Kaur, a Jat girl from the Lakh Waryan village. Balwinder was against their relationship as Sandeep belonged to a lower caste, police said. "The accused had kidnapped Sandeep on February 7. He had thrown his body into Beas river after murdering him. Our hunt is on to trace the body," said police officer Narinder Pal Singh. Sandeep and Karamdeep were in love since their school days, police said. Sandeep had left studies after Class 12 as he got a job in Punjab Police while Karamdeep was pursuing her graduation. Sandeep was also a promising kabaddi player and was supposed to go to Malaysia on February 14 to take part in a tournament. He was preparing for the tournament when he was kidnapped.
