In Brief
Khushwinder Singh was accused of murdering family members, destroying evidence, and stealing valuables. The accused had allegedly convinced the complainant's family to perform a religious ritual at a canal, where he pushed them into the water. The complainant escaped, but others did not. The Court found strong evidence of motive—financial gain through theft—supported by recovery of ₹36,70,000 and ornaments from the accused's possession. The eyewitness account and police investigation corroborated the charges. The Supreme Court affirmed the Session Court's conviction under sections 302, 201, 307, 264, and 380 IPC and upheld the sentence.
