Two arrested for suspected honour killing

GHAZIABAD: A man and his cousin have been arrested in a suspected case
of honour killing. Ranvir Singh (23) and Dharmender (22) were arrested
on Monday, a week after the crime was reported, for killing Ranvir's
minor sister's boyfriend in Chauhna village.

Ranvir had discovered that Pramod (24) was involved with his minor
sister. Both belonged to the same caste and lived in the same
neighbourhood, adding to Ranvir's perception that his family had been
''dishonoured". Since his sister was only 16 , Ranvir had asked Pramod
on several occasions to end the relationship. He had even beaten his
sister up over the issue. When the boy and the girl refused, Ranvir
and his cousin Dharmender killed Pramod on June 8.

''Ranvir and Dharmender forced Pramod to drink alcohol. They then rode
to a drain near Rasurpur where they held Pramod's head down in the
drain water until he died. They also beat up Ranvir's sister, but she
is fine now," said Ghaziabad SSP Raghubir Lal.

Since the villagers had seen Pramod with Ranvir and Dharmender before
he disappeared, the village panchayat ordered the duo on June 11 to
produce Pramod in the village within two days. After which Ranvir and
Dharmender ran away. Pramod's parents reported to police on June 14
that he had gone missing. Pramod's body was recovered on June 20.
