In a tragic case of honor killing, a minor girl was brutally strangled to death by her father, brother, and uncle in Karnataka’s Tumakuru district.
The heart-wrenching incident unfolded when the 17-year-old victim, named Netravati, faced the wrath of her own family due to her relationship with a boy from a Scheduled Caste background.
Tumakuru SP Rahul Kumar Shahapurwad said on Friday that the three accused — Parashurama, Shivaraju, Tukaram — have been arrested.
According to the police, the victim belonged to a Scheduled Tribe and was staying at a hostel during which she fell in love with Kumar.
The girl was reported missing two weeks ago, but her parents found her and brought her back home on June 9.
When the girl did not agree to end the relationship with the boy, the accused persons forced her to drink poison.
When the girl resisted them, her father Parashurama, brother Shivaraju, and uncle Tukaram strangled her to death with a rope.
They family had claimed that thegirl died after consuming the poison and also performed her last rites.
However, sensing suspicion, villagers complained to the police.
The police had initially registered a case of suicidal death, but after a probe, it was converted into a murder case and arrested the accused persons.
