A grim case of alleged honour killing emerged as a 19-year-old woman was reportedly smothered to death by her family due to her relationship with a cousin. The victim's mother, Rabiya Khatun, was apprehended following the arrest of her father, Mohammad Maneer, and her brother, Meraj Ali.
The police discovered the incident after a PCR call alleged that a family had killed their daughter and were in the process of conducting her last rites. Authorities arrived just in time to intercept the burial, suspecting foul play related to a possible honour killing.
The young woman had been seeing a man for two years, a relationship her family vehemently opposed. Despite objections, she continued the relationship, leading to her tragic death. Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding this somber event.
