YAMUNANAGAR (HAR): In a suspected case of honour killing, a 21-year-old woman
has died under suspicious circumstances in Bapra village here, just two days
after she eloped with a youth, police said today.
She was about to be
cremated secretively by her family members, but acting on information from
villagers, police intervened and removed the body from the funeral pyre, they
said.
A few family members of
the woman allegedly manhandled the policemen and snatched the SHO's phone in
the crematorium, police said. The girl's body was sent
for postmortem, they said, adding that a murder case and another case for
causing disappearance of evidence and giving false information has been
registered against the victim's father Mahinder Singh, who had been taken into
custody, they said. According to the police,
the woman had eloped with the youth of the same village on Thursday as her
family was against their relationship.
Police
sources said they had brought the woman here from Ludhiana after her elopement,
while her family members claimed that she had consumed some drug and died.
