Attempted honour killing? Meerut girl says no

CNN-IBN

Meerut: In a fresh twist in the Meerut attempted honour killing case, the girl who had earlier said in her statement that her father tried to kill her by pushing her off the terrace has retracted her statement.

"The initial information that we have received is that there is some kind pushing of the girl by the father from the terrace due to which she fell and got injured. Now that the police has gone into the details and asked for an FIR, she has retracted from her previous statement saying that it was an accident," says Akhil Kumar, DIG, Meerut.

Kumar says that the police is inquiring into the issue but can proceed forward only if the girl files an FIR against her father.

The initial reports suggested that the girl's father, who is a Sub-Inspector of the Uttar Pradesh Police, allegedly threw Parul from the rooftop of his house because she had reportedly married a classmate without his permission. The two studied together in a management institute in Meerut.
