Dalit youth strangled

Ghaziabad, June 25, 2010


The spate of honour killings in and around the Capital showed no sign
of abating as yet another case emerged on Thursday — a young man was
strangled and left hanging from a tree by his girlfriend's father and
three other of her relatives.

Police found the body of Sonu Kumar Jatav (20) in a mango orchard in
Ghaziabad's Badauda village, 45 km east of the Capital. Investigations
revealed that he had been involved with Reena (19), whom he wanted to
marry, but whose parents disapproved of the relationship.

Both of them were Dalits.

"The girl's family had already threatened the man. His worried family
members had in fact sent him away from home for his own safety," said
Capt. M.M. Baig, Superintendent of Police.

On Wednesday, however, police said, Reena's father forced her to call
Sonu and invite him over to discuss their marriage. "He turned up the
same evening," Baig said.

"They were after my son's life and planned the murder," said Kishan
Kumar, Sonu's father. The suspected killers are all absconding.
