Suspected honour killing in Haryana, girl poisoned by parents for marrying classmate

Panipat: A suspected honour killing case has come to light in Panipat, Haryana. A second-year BBA student was allegedly killed by her family for marrying her classmate who belonged to a different caste.

The victim, Indu, had married her friend Ajay Rohil against her parents wishes. Indu's parents had convinced her in-laws to let her go home with them after the wedding. But on Saturday, a friend informed Ajay that his wife had died and was being cremated in haste.

Shockingly, the police at first allegedly refused to register a case and detained Ajay and his father. It was only when neighbours protested that they were released and seven people including Indu's parents were arrested.

A second-year BBA student from Panipat was allegedly killed by her family for marrying her classmate who belonged to a different caste.

Ajay believes his wife was poisoned. "They poisoned my wife and killed her on October 26. We called the police and they said they were sending a PCR van in ten minutes but it never arrived. They started beating us up when we tried stopping them to get the post-mortem done," said Ajay.
