UP man out on parole kills woman in Ludhiana over Rs 5,000 as her child slept in next room

A man jailed in a double murder case killed another woman in Ludhiana while out on parole. He strangulated the woman at her house even as her child slept in the next room.

An Uttar Pradesh resident, who was out on parole after being jailed in a double murder case, went on to choke another woman in Ludhiana and then fled to UP. 45-year-old Mohan Singh, a resident of Maharajgunj in Uttar Pradesh, was jailed in a double murder case back in 2003. Mohan Singh was imprisoned for life. He was recently granted parole when he said he worked as a painter at the residence of his latest victim, reported The Hindustan Times. Mohan Singh painted the doors and windows of 30-year-old Megha Malhotra when he saw her keeping her cash in a cupboard.
