  "content": "A woman in Amritsar has been accused of tying her acquaintance to the ground with ropes, dousing him in petrol and setting him on fire, killing him on July 15. Police have arrested four people in connection with the case, including the accused woman's cousin.\n\nVictim called to her home before the attack\nAccording to the police investigation, the accused woman had called the victim to her house, where a heated argument broke out between the two over an unspecified issue. With help from her cousin, she allegedly tied the man's hands and feet with ropes and then poured petrol on him before setting him alight. An attempt was made to pass off the killing as a suicide, but investigators established it was murder and registered a case against the woman and her associates, taking four people into custody.\n\nAn earlier attempt three days before the killing\nInvestigators found that the same woman had gone to the victim's house three days before the killing with the intent to kill him, telling his family at the time that she was carrying petrol to donate at a gurudwara. The victim's family later released CCTV footage from that day, recorded at a photostat shop near the young man's home. The footage shows the man pleading with the woman with folded hands, while she is seen sitting with her feet propped on the counter, repeatedly pointing a finger at him in a threatening manner. She left the shop after around ten minutes.\n\nSandeep had married just two months earlier\nThe deceased has been identified as Sandeep Singh, who had married only two months before the killing. His younger brother, Mandeep Singh, said the same woman arrived at their house around 8 am on July 12 carrying petrol and told the family she needed Sandeep's help with some work. Mandeep said the woman threatened to kill Sandeep and hurled abuses during that visit.\n\nMandeep further said that on the morning of July 12 the woman had brought petrol in a water cooler and told the family she served at Gurudwara Shaheedan Sahib and needed to offer petrol there. He said she claimed the smell coming from the container was because the cooler's spout had broken. The family did not suspect her intentions at the time. Mandeep believes Sandeep may have gone to meet her, just two months into his marriage, hoping it would stop her from troubling him.\n\nRopes found at the scene raised suspicion\nSarpanch Jaswinder Singh, who reached the spot along with Mandeep, said plastic ropes were found lying tied together near the spot where Sandeep's body was found. He said this strongly suggests Sandeep was tied up first before being set on fire.\n\nPolice cite a relationship as the motive\nThe investigating SHO said the accused woman and Sandeep were in a relationship, and that she had learned of his marriage. The woman has been identified as Rajwinder Kaur, a resident of Majitha. Police said the two had known each other for a while and had worked together in the past. After learning of the marriage, Rajwinder Kaur called Sandeep to her house. He rode over on his bike to her home in Majitha on Wednesday, where a conversation between the two turned into an argument that escalated, ending in his death. Police have arrested Rajwinder Kaur, her cousin and two other associates, and further action is underway.\n\nTension in the area as probe continues\nNews of the killing triggered shock and anger in the locality once it spread. Police are questioning all four accused to establish exactly when and how the plan was carried out. The investigation remains ongoing, with officers examining other aspects of the case.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• Across India: The case is a reminder that disputes in personal relationships can turn extremely violent, making it important for people who feel threatened to alert police early.\n• In Amritsar-Majitha: Local police may now watch more closely for complaints involving prior threats or old disputes in the area, so warning signs are acted on before they escalate.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
