PTI Gari Madhiya village, Suspected honour killing case Ghaziabad,
July 13: In a suspected honour killing case, a girl and a boy were
allegedly murdered by the girl's family, who were opposed to their
alliance in Gari Madhiya village, police said.
Distant cousins, Ishtiyak Ali, 21, and Shabnam,16, were in love. On
Saturday, Ali went to meet Shabnam. Later, the girl and the boy were
found dead. However, the parents of the girl claimed that Shabnam was
shot dead by Ali, who later committed suicide.
The post mortem report of the boy suggests that he was hit by a bullet
in his head from behind, the SP, Mr M. M. Beg, said, adding that it
seemed to be a murder case. He also suspects it to be a case of honour
killing.
In a separate incident, a mahapanchayat has threatened a couple with
"dire consequences" if they tried to enter their native Kakodh village
near Ghaziabad.
Sheetal, 21, and Sudhir, 24, both belonging to the Jat community and
the same gotra, eloped in November 2009 and got married in a temple.
They returned to the village and were met with stiff opposition from
their parents following which they left the place.
The mahapanchayat had earlier asked Sheetal to consider Sudhir as her
brother or leave the village, prompting the couple to seek police
protection.
