JEHANABAD: In a suspected case of honour killing, a young man and a minor girl were beaten to death and their bodies were found hanging from a ceiling fan in Jehanabad district on Wednesday.
Jehanabad SP Manish Kumar, who visited the spot, said there were injury marks on the bodies of the 16-year-old girl and the 19-year-old boy, which suggested that they had been beaten to death before being hanged from a ceiling fan inside the girl’s house at Ghosi village to make the incident appear like a suicide.
The SP said an FIR was lodged by the boy’s uncle in which he named nine persons, apart from accusing 15 other unnamed ones of plotting the “murder”. The girl’s father and brother were not named in the FIR, but some of her other relatives were named accused and raids were being conducted for their arrest, Kumar said.
The bodies have been sent for postmortem and efforts were being made to record the statements of the girl’s family. Asked if it was case of honour killing, the SP said a conclusion could be arrived at only after investigations were complete. PTI
