Karnal: A court in Karnal on Thursday held six people guilty of murdering a young couple for marrying outside their gotra in a chilling case that rocked Haryana in 2007.
The sessions court said it will announce the sentence on March 29. The judge convicted a seventh man, a driver, for kidnapping.
Manoj, 23, had married Babli, 19 from village Karora, against the wishes of her family. They lived in this town and were murdered in June 2007 after village elders accused the couple of violating the code of conduct related to marriage.
The six held guilty of murder included five relatives of Babli including her brother Suresh, cousins Gurdev and Satish, uncles Baru Ram and Rajender as well as an influential man of her village, Ganga Raj.
