He was married thrice; his first wife passed away a long time ago, then he married Sukhvinder Kaur from Ludhiana.
But their married life was very strained. They had 4 children together but after sometime Joginder left his wife and children and discreetly got married a third time, to Kulwant Kaur from Bapa village near Ludhiana," said a police officer.
But Sukhvinder went to court seeking maintenance for herself and her children. Joginder had hidden himself in some isolated place. But after this plea he was disturbed and was trying to find a way to escape legal action and to dump his second wife and children.
