In yet another case of suspected honour killing, a 19-year-old girl was allegedly killed for getting married to a Dalit man in Mandya in Karnataka. The girl, identified as Monika, was found hanging in the field on Saturday night.
Adding to the suspicions hinting towards honour killing, she was cremated in a hurry early in the morning on Sunday. The girl had apparently eloped with the man before she was traced and brought back home.
Police suspect that the girl's family forced her to write a suicide note before strangling her to death. The girl's father and uncle have been arrested.
The incident comes hardly a month after a 21-year-old engineering student Sankar was killed in a case of suspected honour killing allegedly on the orders of his wife's family who hails from the upper caste Thevar community in Tamil Nadu.
