Chandigarh : In another suspected case of honour killing, an
engineering student, Vikas (21), and his girlfriend Ritu (19), both
residents of Jind district, were murdered on Sunday night allegedly by
the girl's parents.
Sources said that Vikas, a resident of Sangatpura village, belonged to
the Jat community and Ritu of Krishna colony, belonged to the Brahmin
community. They met at the Akash Institute in New Delhi where Vikas
was taking coaching classes for Engineering whereas Ritu was preparing
for PMT. After completing the coaching, Ritu came back home but for
one year they used to meet frequently in Jind, sources added.

Vikas visited the girl's house on Sunday night when Ritu's parents
killed him with sharp-edged weapons. His body was recovered in the
morning from the bushes of Sector 8, Jind, police officials said.

They added that Ritu was also murdered later and was cremated at
Brahmanwas village, Jind without informing the police about her death.
The police visited the cremation site and collected ashes for the
laboratory test.

A case of murder has been registered against the girl's father Ram Raj
Sharma, mother and other relatives on a complaint lodged by Vikas's
father Ramesh. No arrest has been made so far as the accused are
absconding. SHO Dalip Singh said they would be arrested soon.
