MUKHTIAR PANGHALI ARRESTED

Mukhtiar Panghali's arrest today evening came as no surprise. Somehow everybody in the community knew he is responsible for his wife Manjit Panghali's murder. But the Delta Police was just waiting for the right time - I guess. After his wife's murder, every public appearance he made, he would shed a tear or two, and the more often he did that the lesser the people believed in his innocence. The latest "foul crying" was experienced at his daughter's visitation rights case. He refused to let their daughter meet up with Manjit's family, who then went to the court and a trial was announced.
Manjit's family knew it all along who murdered Manjit, and they mentioned it unofficially to a lot of people, including me, in so many words. But they didn't want to go officially public with it, not until the police had completed their investigation. According to a Radio India report, Mukhtiar was arrested from his residence at about 5.30 PM. Although the Delta Police have not confirmed the arrest, they have not denied it either. The have called a press conference on Monday.

I don't know how others feels but Mukhtiar Panghali, however he seemed guilty from the time the familes held a joint press conference. He seemed to be "acting" when he was crying and was able to turn on and off the tears. He waited way too long before reporting his pregnant wife missing, a normal person who no doubt report their missing pregnant wife to the police ASAP. Sold off his houses so nobody could take his money or make a claim that Manjit's share of the home should be held in trust for their daughter. I guess Mukhtiar will need that money as he fights his case in the courts. Hopefully justice will be served and the police have good evidence that will prove who the killer/killers were in the murder.

Mr. Panghali was a teacher at my high school. I agree, he was one of the nicest teachers, and I don't think I ever saw him get mad. This is just all so bizarre and shocking, I don't know what to think.

I grew up with MP and attended school with him from elementary school all the way to university. I must say that I am not surprised that he is in this situation. He has an uncanny ability to make people believe that he is someone or something that he truly isn't. Eventually everyone's true colors show through.

My heart goes out to the daughter of Manjit Panghali. She will grow up knowing her father and uncle killed her pregnant mother. What a disgusting and sick minded person Mukhtiar Pangali must be, to have killed his wife, burned her body and then come on television and put on a HORRIBLE act of concern and love for his missing wife. What's shocking is, your a well educated and respected individual, yet you actually thought you can get away with killing your wife. To the parents of Mukhtiar Panghali, you raised not one, but TWO killers, I just hope your grandchild isn't going to be raised by you guys too!

Please remember he has not been convicted yet. If he is guilty I hope he gets what he deserves. But if the evidence is not strong, I hope the jury will have the courage to make it's mind up based on the facts. And if the evidence is strong, why wasn't action taken earlier to ensure the young daughter's safety? Why did they not remove her from the care of someone they believed to be capable of murdering his wife and her unborn child? Perhaps new evidence came to light recently?

If the reason the police took so long to act is because were putting together a strong case, great. But I fear they may be acting just to show they are making progress, the media has put the police under great pressure to produce results. If they failed to get a conviction - certainly heads might roll in the department.

I hope that pressure was not so great that it could push them into persuing an innocent man, and letting the true killer walk free.

This is a highly immotive case. I just hope people keep clear heads and ensure true justice is done.

I think MP is a looser. Cold blooded person that killed his wife and unborn child. He deserves to be in jail for the rest of his life. Maya should not be able to see him or his parents she should live with manj's parents. My heart goes out manj's family.

I think that mukhtiars parents arent at fault, i feel for them. Obviously you dont know them and I do! They had no idea their sons did this.. they were good parents and loved manjit off like crazy. Its too bad that their sons took her life :( Manjit was a sweet angel I just wish all the best for lil maya!

I think yall shouldnt blog hate comments on here, everyone should be at relief that someone is arrested and lets wait till we hear what has happened through the trails.
And those haters should write their names up if you want to be take seriously

I am not so shocked that the brother is also implicated in this crime. Having experienced the general temperament and character of this person from early childhood to youth, i can attest to the fact that this is a highly aggressive, impulsive and egomaniacal individual.
I hope that justice prevails and precedents are set forth for the community.
May Manjit and her little one rest in peace, while God watches over Maya. This story breaks my heart and my most sincere condolances go out to her loved ones.

TO LAY SOME RUMORS TO REST....
MANJIT WAS NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR. MANJIT WAS CARRYING MP'S CHILD. MANJIT WAS AGAINST MP DRINKING AND DOING DRUGS BECAUSE SHE FELT THAT IT WAS WRONG. MANJIT'S IN-LAWS DID KNOW ABOUT THE MURDER AND FULLY CONDONED IT. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SUPPORTING THEIR SONS RIGHT TO THE VERY END. THEIR OLDER BROTHER KULVINDER PANGHALI AND HIS WIFE JUGJIT PANGHALI ARE POSTING SUKHVINDER'S BAIL. THEY ARE FIGHTING AGAINST THE BASRA FAMILY IN COURT FOR MANJIT'S DAUGHTER. THIS FAMILY HAS ALREADY RAISED TWO KILLERS AND SUPPORT THEIR BEHAVIOUR, DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD BE RAISING MANJIT'S LITTLE GIRL. THIS IS NOT WHAT MANJIT WOULD HAVE WANTED. NOBODY IN THAT FAMILY SEEMS TO GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT ANYBODY BUT THEMSELVES. THERE IS ALOT THAT WILL COME OUT IN COURT IN DUE TIME. NO MATTER WHAT RUMORS THE PANGHALI FAMILY IS TRYING TO SPREAD REGARDING MANJIT OR HER FAMILY, THE TRUTH IS GOING TO COME OUT. THE WHOLE PANGHALI FAMILY IS GOING DOWN. THERE IS SO MUCH EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM ALL. JUST KEEP WATCHING.

Well I am not taking sides but trying to set the record straight as I did know Manjit and Mukhtiar and I did like them both. Manjit did have a male friend on the side, not saying she had an affair but a third wheel to the marriage is not good and MP knew about this. The marriage was on its final wheels for sometime so adding another person in the mix is not good and he was faithful to Manjit. The child she was carrying was MP's and if MP is guilty of this crime he needs to be punished. In terms of the drinking, in university, MP never even drank a bit and Manjit who was a social drinker was the one who introduced him to alcohol and MP did hit the bottle hard and became an alcoholic and never got his alcohol addiction in check which lead to problems in the marriage. As for his drug use...that is false, the guy drank but didn't use drugs. MP's parents knew nothing of MP and his younger brothers involvement. They haven't done anything wrong, they are elderly people and this is hard for them as it is for the entire Basra family. Of course the elder Panghali brother was going to post the bail. Remember in this country you are innocent until proven guilty. While I think MP is guilty based on what I have read, he is still innocent until a judge and jury say otherwise. Lets not take sides and lets let the justice system work.

I just wanted to comment on what the previous poster said .. MP has been a drunk since high school. I graduated with him and there were hundreds of times when he came to school drunk and high on drugs. He lived in the Sigma Chi frat house during UBC and was a major drunk. To say that his wife introduced him to drinking is a total fallacy.

Anonymous said...

It's true that MP drank in university. But I don't think that's relevant. A lot of people over drink in University. I knew MP at UBC, we were the same age, classes, etc. We lived in the same house one year.

He didn't show any violent or irratic behaviour. There are a lot of hot headed men at that age. quick to anger, bring egos into the decision making process. MP didn't do that. He was calm. He didn't even get into a fight when some friends were involved. He walked away from it.

I'd really like to remind everyone to wait for a trial. Don't find him guilty without one. . . the foundations of our justice system are based on a presumption of innocence b/c the wisdom of our forefathers determined that is the best way to run a free and democratic society. Let's respect that.

But if the judgement is passed against him, I'll respect that too.

Many people have written about how MP was such a nice guy, how he never drank in Uni but was introduced to it by Manjit, and how Manjit had a male friend on the side and so this made the situation worse. Last I checked these are not reason to kill your wife and unborn child. I think while posting these comments its important to keep in mind that while both families may be suffering, the Panghali family still has thieir son, the Basra family has lost a daughter, a sister and Maya has lost a mother. Regardless of who Manjits' friends were, or what she did in her life, SHE DID NOT DESERVE THIS.

I live in Toronto but have followed many of the stories from B.C. involving domestic violence. My heart aches for those family members who are left behind to search for answers. Why would you kill the one person you promised to love and honor in sickness and in health. MP will not only pay in this life but he will face god and have to explain how he jusifies taking a life of his wife and of his child who had seen nothing of the world yet. Those tears he cried on TV were a mockery. We all saw right passed those tears. He deserves no sympathy regardless of how nice of a person he was in school. We need to look at what he is today. He is a cold blooded murderer. And for that he needs to be punished.

May Manjit and her baby rest in peace. And may god bless Maya. I wish the Basra family strength to fight through the ordeal yet to come. Stay strong. There are many indian women who will be supporting you ever step of the way.

Knowing a little about the law i would like to comment on the remarks made on April 03 2007 at 1008pm. It is only possible for the panghali family, Manjit's biological family and lawyers to know that sukvinder was to be posted bail...before posting bail. It doesnt take much with the use of the internet to know that he was bailed out a week later from this date. The use of the capital locks also expresses some extreme emotion. We need to keep our emotions under control throughout this if we are to focus and survive.

This trajedy is simply disgusting. Yet the way the police have handled this case already is ridiculous as well...why have they made these accusations and why isn't their been a trial yet for gods sakes? Pooja can you not answer these q's for us. What is this i see on the discover vancouver website that sukvinder has had ALL charges dropped against him and he stands on this earth today without even a criminal record. This was made out to be such a big deal and he was created as this monster yet he is equal to everyone else (without a record) What the heck? He had soo many things that were said about what he did...it all turned out to be lies? What!? Why on the same site does it also say that Manjit's biological mother is living in the Panghali home? That could not be true!

Why is there no more coverage on this story? Why has the Manjit Panghali memorial page removed the comments and condolences section? What are people trying to hide? What is going to happen if Mukhtiar is found inoccent? Why would police make such accusations against people if a conviction was not at least possible? So many q's...

This story has revealed so much to the public about how the police really work...they will probably blame the courts and lawyers if innocence is given. They dont care accusations are just as serious as convictions in their minds. Awful just awful, poor Maya.

The husband has put the family home up for sale so Manjit's family could not claim anything. It's so obvious that Manjit's husband murdered her and her born to be child. It's not hard to see.

To the parents of Mukhtiar Panghali, you raised not one, but TWO killers, I just hope your grandchild isn't going to be raised by you guys too! First whomever said this it's not the parents fault the two ass holes took the wrong path. SO don't be blaming their parents. Because in the end when the kids do something wrong the finger is pointed towards the parents and its actually the kids fault. Manjit's husband is not an idiot he could have made the choice to kill her or not and obviouslly he did not take the right path. But I'd just like to say they got in the wrong crowd. What could the parents do?

Mukhtiar Pangali's parents have feeling to. So imagine if you were in their shoes. Having 2 kids that you raised kill someone it's devistating.

Maya should be goven to Manjit's side of the family. That's what she would probably want if she was still alive.

Well, I had Mr. Panghali as a physics teacher... I remember once there was a letter submitted to the principal about him being a crappy physics teacher (which was true) and he was really mad and suspected me. Me, and two other students were in after class as he interrogated me, and at one point was so angry, he did a karate chop on the desk... LOL... freaked me out, but showed me the type of angry guy he could be... needless to say, I am not surprised by this crime, that guy has a temper...

To ALL who somehow have expertise on this suddenly.

1. Biggest Loser in this: The child and then parents of both (the killed and the alleged killer).

2. Teachers Kids: whether he was a good teacher or not is irrelevant.

3. What is really happening in the community is the following.

- A marriage after a very short (or no) interaction between the boy and the girl.
- No matching of the skill/mental age of the tw involved.
- Parents typically say : Oh Kuri has good job and Munda has a good job and Family is great.
- Usually girls consider they are now out of a "cage" and "marriage" is an escape to "freedom".
- Boy's parents and family are the shits and girls family could do no wrong.

Zero communication between the boy and the girl and Girls usually get tamed by and external force (another male) and disturbance begins. I am not blaming the girls BUT someone should study the underling problems in the community and point out why? why ? why?
someone please take charge and Fix the underlining problem than just gossiping, word-smithing, and blaming everyone else BUT self.

Thank you

Wow...its been so long, still no trial. All the charges got dropped against the brother in law and now he is suing...what in the world have the police done.

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.

I graduated with MP in Merritt and hung out with him and a group of friends. He was a normal teenager who liked to party on weekends but was good in school. I saw him 6 months earlier at a friends wedding and met his wife.She was very nice. I was shocked to see later that she was killed and MP was arrested for it. But I do remember him having a hot temper. He deserves what he gets if he did do it.
