AGRA: A 19-year-old woman from Aligarh was allegedly killed and beheaded by her father, stepmother, and step-grandfather in Hathras for what police describe as an " honour killing " on suspicion of "disgracing" the family. The three were arrested on Wednesday.
Hathras SP Chiranjeev Natha Singh said, "On Aug 10, residents of Bahradoi village discovered a sack with a headless body in a canal. The head was recovered shortly after."
The victim was identified as Tamanna, daughter of Hasrat Ali (40). Police said Ali married Firdos in 2005 and had two daughters. He separated from Firdos six years ago and wed Rani (38). Probe revealed that in July, Tamanna left home with a man, a resident of the same village, but returned two days later. This angered Ali and Rani who beat her. After another argument, Tamanna began staying with her uncle, Ali's brother.
On Aug 8, she left again but was intercepted by Ali and Rani. Believing she was "defaming" the family, Ali's allegedly discussed the matter with his father-in-law, Rajjo who advised "dealing with it" immediately. That night, they allegedly laced her food with intoxicants, strangled her and, when she lost consciousness, took her to the canal. Police say Ali then severed her head.
