In yet another case of honour killing, the family of a girl allegedly got her killed by her brother's friends who helped them murder the parents of the boy with whom she eloped.
The two friends were arrested from south Delhi's Malviya Nagar yesterday while they were on way to kill Durgesh Tiwari, the youth who eloped with the girl, DCP (South) Chhaya Sharma said.
All started on June 1 when the girl's brother Sonu and his friends Padam Singh (22) and Bhushan Singh (20) barged into the house of Durgesh and not finding him, shot dead his parents -- Sharda Prasad Tiwari (45) and wife Shobha (40) --at their Harsh Vihar residence in north-east Delhi.
"Durgesh and the girl had eloped in December 2010 and had returned after sometime. The girl's family who was staying in Harsh Vihar felt humiliated and they shifted to Greater Noida. They wanted to take revenge," Sharma said.
Sonu allegedly wanted to kill Durgesh as he found that the youth and his sister were still continuing their relationship despite returning after the elopement.
"Sonu and his father conspired to kill Durgesh and the girl. Sonu involved his school friends Padam and Bhushan and offered them money for assisting him in the conspiracy. Durgesh who was arrested for elopement was later released on bail and had shifted his base to Jammu and started working in a private firm," Sharma said.
Durgesh, who had come to Delhi to attend the hearing in the court on June 1, "saved himself by locking himself in a room when Sonu and others came looking for him", she said.
Sonu's father then asked them to kill his daughter.
"They went to Sonu's maternal uncle's village in Dasai-Dashaera in Bulandshehar. They tried to strangulate her but her maternal uncle asked them to shoot her. On this, Padam Singh wiped out his country made pistol and shot her on head and dumped her in the bushes," the DCP said.
