BAREILLY: Upset with his daughter stepping out to meet her beau at 4am, a man hacked both of them to death with a spade and later walked into a local police station in UP’s Budaun district on Tuesday morning with the ‘murder weapon’ stained in blood and surrendered himself to the cops.
SSP (Budaun), OP Singh, said, “A 19-year-old woman and her boyfriend, 20, were killed by her father and other relatives in Paroli.The accused, Mahesh (who goes by first name), then handed himself over at Bilsi police station.” He added, “We’ve registered an FIR under IPC sections 302 (murder), 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting with dangerous weapons), 149 (guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) on the complaint of her boyfriend’s kin against the woman’s parents and three members of her family. The woman’s parents were arrested and sent to jail.”
The victims were from the same community and knew each other for two years, the SSP said, adding that the bodies were sent for autopsy. During questioning, the woman’s father told police that he suspected that his daughter was planning to elope with their neighbour’s son and kept an eye on her activities. “At 4am on Tuesday, when she left the house and met her friend, her father caught her outside and attacked them with a spade. The impact of the repeated blows on her almost severed her head from the torso. Both were hacked to death,” said a police officer. The victim’s boyfriend, Sachin, used to work in Himachal Pradesh and had come home on December 31, the police added.
