Kanpur, March 5: A 19-year-old girl was raped and murdered in Gandhigram on Saturday. She was alone in the house at the time of the incident.

The murder came to light late on Saturday night when her sister called the girl on her mobile phone from Lucknow. When she got no response, the harried sister contacted the neighbours, who found the teenager lying dead. A case under Section 376 and 302 of IPC was registered.

Anjali alias Nancy, daughter of Surendra Singh, a resident of Hata Deoria, was raped and smothered to death by unidentified miscreants at her grandparents house in Gandhigram in Chakeri.

Nancy's grandfather Veerbali, a retired HAL employee and his wife Damyanti had gone to his native place in Hata Deoria about a week back. The girl was staying alone since then.

Nancy's younger sister Sainky, who stays in Lucknow with her relatives, had tried to call her on her phone. On getting no response, Sainky asked the neighbours to go to her sister's house and apprise her about the situation.

The neighbours saw Nancy lying in a semi-nude condition in a pool of blood in her room in the double-storied house.

Nancy's parents had sent her to Kanpur to stay with her grandparents for further studies.

"The assailants were probably known to Nancy, who might have smothered the girl to death after sexually assaulting her," a police official said.

Senior police officials visited the site. During an inquiry at the locality, residents of the area informed that at around 11 am, they had spotted Nancy on her way back home from a nearby shop with a couple of packets of noodles which were served in two bowls in the room from where the body was recovered.

The police said that several suspected persons have been detained for interrogation. The call details of the suspected persons and Nancy are being collected.

Parents allegedly murder pregnant daughter in suspected honour killing in Telangana

June 10,2020

Jun 10: In a suspected case of honor killing in Telangana, a 20-year old woman was allegedly smothered to death by her parents for being in love with a man from another caste, becoming pregnant and refusing to undergo an abortion, police said on Tuesday.

The parents killed their daughter using a pillow while she was asleep in the early hours of June 7 in their house in Kalukuntla in Jogulamba-Gadwal district and sought to project it as natural death, claiming she died of a heart attack.

However, following specific information and suspicion raised by the village secretary over the death of the woman, a college student, a probe was launched and the couple arrested on charges of murder under Indian Penal Code section 302 after post-mortem, police said.

The parents decided to kill the woman, the youngest of their three daughters, a day after she was found pregnant and refused to undergo an abortion, police said.

The woman had fallen in love with the man while pursuing her degree course in Kurnool district in neighboring Andhra Pradesh and informed her parents about it after she was found pregnant during an examination by a doctor. Her parents feared that their daughter may elope with her lover and brought pressure on her to go for abortion.

Though initially, she agreed, later she declined, following which they killed her and told everyone that their daughter died of heart attack, the police official said. When a police team went to their house and insisted on a post-mortem after noticing some marks on her body indicating a struggle, the parents tried to stop it, saying there was no need.

Later, police shifted the body to a hospital where a post-mortem revealed the woman was "throttled to death". Her parents during interrogation confessed to killing their daughter, the official said, adding they were arrested.
