Inter-caste couple found dead in city
Jun 15th, 2010 -- Age Correspondent | New Delhi
In a suspected case of honour killing, a teenage couple belonging to
different castes was found dead with multiple stab injuries in
north-west Delhi's Swaroop Nagar area on Monday.
The police said the deceased, identified as Yogesh Kumar, 20, a taxi
driver and Asha, 19, were allegedly held at the house of Asha's uncle,
identified as Om Prakash on Sunday evening.
The police has arrested Om Prakash and girl's father Suraj Saini.
Both the victims were residents of north-east Delhi's Gokalpuri area.
Sources said the family members warned the two to end their
relationship, but they refused.
"The couple was gagged with rags and later flogged and electrocuted by
attaching live wires to trunks, on which they were forcefully laid
down," a source said.
"The incident came to light on Monday morning when the neighbours
found an abandoned car outside Om Prakash's house and foul smell
emanating out of the house. A PCR call was made and a team of cops
arrived at around 7.30 am. The couple's mutilated bodies were
recovered and taken for postmortem.
