Man abducted, killed, body set afire in honour killing
Hyderabad: A 35-year-old man was allegedly kidnapped, murdered and the body set on fire by five persons who were opposed to the inter-caste marriage of their daughter with the deceased’s brother, in Shadnagar on Friday. Police traced the body of the victim, Rajashekhar, a private employee from Shadnagar, to Nawabpet in Mahbubnagar district. The woman’s father, Venkatesh, and his four associates have been arrested by the police. According to the police, on November 12, the deceased’s brother Chandrashekhar, an autorickshaw driver belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) community, eloped with the accused’s daughter, who belongs to the Yadav community. The woman’s family lodged a missing complaint at Moinabad police station and went to Rajashekhar’s house to question the family. The woman’s family held Rajashekhar responsible. They asked him to step out of the house, dragged him into a car and took him to a remote location in Shadnagar where they allegedly murdered him. They transported the body to Nawabpet in Mahbubnagar district, nearly an hour away, poured petrol on it and set it ablaze. When Rajashekhar did not return home, his family lodged a kidnap complaint with the Shadnagar police. During the search operation, police traced the burnt body. “There was not much left of the body; a thread worn on his right hand helped us confirm the identity,” an official from Nawabpet police station said. The Nawabpet police registered a murder case, conducted an autopsy and handed the remains over to the family. The case was later transferred to Shadnagar police station and is now being investigated by the ACP. A case has been registered under the BNS and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
