Tussi neeche story parh sakde ho.VANCOUVER • Wearing grey jailhouse sweats and grim expressions on their wrinkled faces, Malkit Kaur Sidhu and Surjit Singh Badesha made brief court appearances Monday, their first since their surprise arrests last week when local authorities announced their intention to see the pair extradited to India, where they are accused of playing a long-distance role in a notorious honour killing.
Their alleged victim, Jassi Kaur Sidhu, was a 25-year-old newlywed. She was Ms. Sidhu’s daughter, and Mr. Badesha’s niece.
After a secret romance that crossed geographical and cultural divides, she had married a poor rickshaw driver. According to media accounts published in Canada and India, their marriage was an act of profound love and defiance that infuriated some of the bride’s family members. In June 2000, she was attacked and her throat slashed in Punjab province. Her corpse was thrown into a ditch.
The murder reverberated for years in both countries.
To date, seven individuals have been convicted in India on various charges related to the slaying, including murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder, the RCMP said Friday.
Ms. Sidhu, 63, and Mr. Badesha, 67, both of Maple Ridge, a Vancouver suburb, were taken into custody after B.C. Supreme Court issued warrants Thursday for their arrest under Canada’s Extradition Act.

According to Vancouver’s Province newspaper, which has led coverage of the murder and its aftermath, the pair’s “alleged involvement … was the worst-kept secret since Jassi married Mithu Singh Sidhu on March 15, 1999, and faced harassment, threats and pressure to divorce.”

Mithu Singh Sidhu was badly beaten in the attack that took his wife’s life, but he survived.
Indian authorities, including the Indian Police Service and the Punjab Police Service, “uncovered evidence indicating Jassi Sidhu’s family were involved in the homicide from Canada,” the RCMP said in a news release.
The two accused were represented in court by defence counsel Michael Klein, who asked that their first appearance be held over to Wednesday, when a bail hearing will be scheduled.
Crown counsel Deborah Strachan took no issue and the judge agreed to the request.
The pair will remain in custody.
As they were being escorted from the courtroom, Ms. Sidhu stopped and moved toward the spectators’ gallery. She attempted to embrace a small child, held out to her by a woman, apparently a relative. A courthouse sheriff intervened and said such contact is not permitted.
The pair were then led to a secure holding area and transported back to a suburban detention facility.aring, expected to be a lengthy and complicated process. They are both Canadian citizens wanted in India, where they are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Fitch heard Monday afternoon.
