Haryana Girl Murders Seven Family Members
Fearing her family would not accept her relationship with a boy, a girl brutally murdered all her family members in Haryana.
Reports said that 19-year-old Sonam killed seven members of her family after they found that she was in love with a boy from their own clan. Her lover, Naveen, abetted the crime, said police.
Police said that both of them went ahead with the crime, fearing that their families would never accept their relationship, for they belong to the same clan. So, when the girl’s family discovered the matter, the two decided to kill them. Sonam poisoned her parents, brother, grandmother and three cousins, claimed police.
“They knew that when they wanted to marry officially the family would oppose it. The parents and grandmother would never allow their wedding so they decided to kill them,” said Anil Kumar Rao, SSP Rohtak.
Police termed cracking the case as tough, saying that it was only after interrogating Sonam that a breakthrough became possible. Now, Sonam appears remoseful.
“I have done a wrong thing, I know that,” said Sonam Daggar.
It should be noted that marriage within the same clan is a strict no-no in rural Haryana. Village panchayats are dead opposed to any such relationship and there have been many killings in the name of protecting family honour.
