Delhi Honour Killings: Photos of Three Suspects Released
In a case of alleged honour killing of an inter-caste couple and murder of their relative, Delhi Police has released photographs of three accused and decided to announce cash rewards for anyone giving information about the trio, said media reports.
NS Bundel, DCP (North West Delhi), said that police would give cash rewards to anyone giving information about Mandeep (23), Ankit (22) and Nakul alias Nikku (21), the three boys who allegedly murdered Monica and her husband Kuldeep on Sunday, reports said.
Bundela said that the amount of cash rewards was yet to be fixed, said reports.
The three youths are allegedly also involved in the murder of 22-year-old Shobha, a cousin of Monica, reports said.
Yesterday, police had recovered Shobha’s body in a car. She had also eloped with a man belonging to a different caste.
All the three are suspected victims of honour killing.
Police feel that the perpetrators of the crime could have been enraged over the inter-caste marriages in the family which apparently started with Monica, 24, who was followed by her cousin sister Shobha.
Ankit is brother of Monica, while Mandeep is her cousin. Shobha is Mandeep’s sister.
Mandeep and Ankit are absconding and police suspect the involvement of both in Shobha’s murder.
