Mancherial, Dec 24: In a shocking incident of suspected honour killing, a woman was allegedly burnt alive on Saturday night by her father in collusion with other family members as the man she married was from a different caste. They also allegedly threw the bones of the deceased in a canal to destroy evidence.

The deceased P Anuradha, a resident of Kalamadugu village in Mancherial district, hailed from Yadava caste while her husband Laxman was from Padmashali caste.

According to the police, the couple was having an affair for the last four years.

Commissioner of Police of Ramagundam V Satyanarayana told ANI that after Anuradha's parents learnt about the affair they made her lodge a harassment complaint against Laxman in Jannaram police station.

"However, they (Anuradha and Laxman) left for Hyderabad this month and got married in Arya Samaj on December 3, and from there they shifted to Warangal. They returned to their native place Kalamadugu village on Saturday. The duo's intention was to settle the case filed against Laxman and live together in the village," said V Satyanarayana.

Anuradha's parents and relatives, however, allegedly came to the residence of Laxman on late Saturday night and took away Anuradha forcibly. She was allegedly beaten up and later burnt alive, said the police commissioner.

The incident was reported to the police in the wee hours of Sunday. Police said that three persons including Anuradha's father have been taken into custody.

"A case has been registered under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code. We have recovered the bones from a small water canal as the accused had thrown the bones of Anuradha after they burnt her. Further investigation is on," said Satyanarayana.

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
