Jaipur: A woman who dared to defy her family to marry the person of her choice was killed by her brothers. The woman, Ramakunwar alias Rama, was set on fire by her brother Lakshman Singh and other cousins eight years after she returned home with her three-year-old son.
Her perceived crime in the eyes of her brothers was not just that she eloped with and married the boy she loved but the boy belonged to a different caste.
The incident occurred in Chota Aspur village in South Rajasthan’s.
The police arrested her brother and six cousins for the alleged honour killing on a complaint filed by the deceased’s mother-in-law Kalawati, on Saturday.
