Ludhiana: The Additional Sessions Judge Arunvir Vashisht’s court here on Friday sentenced death penalty to Rishu Grover for the double murder of Usha Grover (55) and her daughter Heena (22), which took place at Fatehganj Mohalla in 2013.
Rishu Grover, a resident the Tibba Road area, murdered his cousin Heena and aunt Usha Grover. It was revealed that Rishu had a relationship with her cousin Heena for the past some years. Rishu murdered the duo because he was annoyed at Heena’s engagement with another guy.
He was also aware of the money that Heena’s brother sent from Australia. Debt-ridden Grover reportedly got another reason to kill the mother-daughter duo, to pay back his debts.
Rishu first killed Heena on the first floor of the house and to avoid being suspected, he wrote the name of Babu with Heena’s blood on the wall. “The accused then killed Usha Grover on the ground floor and absconded with Rs 4 lakhs.
