‘Informers’ families killed
NZPA-Reuter Chandigarh Sikh extremists in northern Punjab State killed four women yesterday in what the Indian police called a second attempt to undermine their information network by attacking the families of suspected informers.
Gunmen shot dead the wife, two daughters and a woman tenant of Shamsher Singh, near Tarn Taran town, in Amritsar district.
Police said the gunmen suspected Mr Singh of giving the police information on suspected guerrillas.
Extremists killed a Government party worker they believed to be an informer, along with six of his family members, near the Sikh holy city of Amritsar last Thursday.
