Canadian Sikh kills two-yr-old daughter
CHANDIGARH: Barely two weeks after an Indian-American with roots in Ambala set his family on fire and killed his pregnant daughter, an Indo-Canadian hailing from Punjab has been charged with killing his two-and-half-year-old daughter in the Vancouver suburb of Delta because he reportedly did not like having a third girl child.[/u]
Lakhvinder Singh Kahlon (47), who belongs to Punia village in Nakodar in Jalandhar district, allegedly slit the throat of his child on Friday morning at their home when his wife, Manjit, was away to drop their two older daughters at school.
When Manjit returned home at about 8.45 am on Friday, she found the baby, Ravinder, dead.
As per a report by a news agency, Kahlon, a construction worker, was reportedly unhappy since Ravinder's birth and had stopped going to work.
Although the police didn't say how Kahlon killed the daughter, the neighbours said his wife told them that he had slit his daughter's throat. They said he was very cold towards the youngest daughter and often treated her rudely.
Kahlon was formally charged with first degree murder on Saturday. "This is a terrible tragedy. The family and community are devastated. The family members are safe and under the care of extended family and friends," the local police said in a statement.
The Kahlon family immigrated to Canada from Punjab many years ago. Their other two daughters, 9 and 12, were born in Delta, which like neighbouring Surrey, has a huge Indian-origin population.
