Farmer shoots wife and son, attempts suicide in Punjab's Ferozepur; all critical
Ferozepur (PTI): A 37-year-old farmer allegedly shot his wife and four-year-old son with his licensed pistol before attempting to take his own life in Bajidpur village here on Friday.
All three were in critical condition and referred to the DMC hospital in Ludhiana, police said, while adding that the reason behind the step is being investigated.
According to police, the injured were identified as Jagseer Singh alias Saba (37), his wife Navneet Kaur, and their son Warisdeep Singh (4).
