.. Brothers confess - villagers tightlipped ..
Panipat,India, Tribune, September 24
In yet another case of honour killing, a minor girl of Bapoli village was allegedly poisoned on Sunday night and cremated the next morning. One of the villagers informed the police after seven hours of her cremation, the police, along with a forensic team, reached the village and collected samples of the victim's ashes.
The girl had reportedly gone missing from her house a fortnight back and was recovered and brought back by family members 10 days ago.
While the villagers were tightlipped about the ghastly incident, sources said the family members took the extreme step to save their honour in the village.
Sources further said the family members suspected that she had eloped with a boy of Bahadurgarh village, who belonged to a different caste while the girl was from the barber community. The girl had left her studies last year after she flunked in Class X.
The police has registered a case of murder against three persons, including the girl's father Satyanarayan, her brothers Praveen and Ajit. ASI Ravinder Singh, a relative of the girl, who assisted the family members in tracing her without lodging a complaint, has been booked and placed under suspension.
The three main accused have been remanded to one-day police custody.
The brothers stated that their sister had threatened to run away again and confessed to the honour killing.
QLers, How come, girls brothers & all the villagers agree upon one thing ?
Brothers confess & villagers tightlipped.
I had a kind of fight in my thoughts yesterday when I was taking a shower..and I ended up with this thought ,yes of course kids have to care about parents and social norms..and what if parents trust their kids that their kids can also make good decisions.
Brit is absolutely correct .....
I doubt whether religion plays a part. It is more to do with culture.
What religion would have they been and does religion actually play a part in honor killings ?
No one can force any one to marry ..that is right...at the same time it is always better to take the blessings of parents and get married...Be happy and stay happy and make every one happy
However it is a mistake if parents force them to marry someone. Love, understanding, connection, emotional balance, reciprocity altogether makes a happy family.
Sometimes we have to give up.. if one is adamant, another one should not be the same.
In my opinion, it is not a mistake to ask parents to permit them to marry someone.
My point is one person can prevent all the mishaps if the integrity of the entire family is at the heart ..
Yes. Agree with Brit. True Love will never cause such violence.
I agree that childrens' actions can cause hurt to parents. BUT that does not mean that a parent should stand by and allow the taking of the life of his / her offspring..
No amount of hurt can justify this type of murder..
can you break a 15 - 16 years bond of affection with parents in exchange of a person you just { a few weeks back ! } chose , in a split second ?
come one doesn't realize the fact that if you go out with an unwelcome / unknown { to parents } person how much they { parents } are going to be hurt ?
I wish is women should take part in solving the situation, because they are one party of the dispute ..
They should not give a sudden shock to their own real parents ....
Changing colours so quickly { on one fine morning } is deplorable .....
My brother, I am with women folk .... same as all of us ....
You see, when we go to doctor we should not interpret patient's diagnosis as if doctor is pointing-out patient's faults ..
blaming the women again!
'How come all the cases are similar since ages and girls still choose that risky path ?'

'Dispute starts when father, uncles and brothers are able to see the truth with their life experiences where as girls build air castles ...Just a bout of infatuations '
You just can't help yourself, can you?
for your worthy comments ... MM
Sick
The community or society also should play there part of not encouraging these kind of acts but advising them to take help from law rather then to punish the lovers by thenselves
Yes. Agree MM, I know how it feels, as my close friend was involved once but control is the key.. Express your anger, honour, guilt or whatever you name it , within the boundary of the nature..
I agree with you 100 % - Wed, 25/09/2013 - 9:24am
Dispute starts when father, uncles and brothers are able to see the truth with their life experiences where as girls build air castles ...
Just a bout of infatuations ..
It's about the economy too. Women are basically unprofitable in that kind of society where boys are considered as assets and investment, it's cheaper to just kill them girls than having to pay huge money to handle the situation.
The best way to perform Honour Killing is "Kill Yourself" as you feel guilt, not the one who Eloped.
MM,
Break it down step by step & you will find that HK is cuz of EGO.
I will support parents if they go to court but they did not, they took the law in their hand & committed more mistakes than the poor girl.
Girl's mistake- Its not even an adultery,as they both wanted to get marry,as simple as that.
Parents mistake-
Forcing her not to marry someone they don't like
Telling her lies that come back home we'll arrange a wedding ceremony
Cause mental suffering/anxiety & physical pain to her to leave her husband
Kill her if she don't agree
Parents should be parents,should not cross the limits of freedom GOD bestowed everyone of us as a human being.
bold step .... I salute her .... a real woman ... !
The mother of 3 in Turkey cuts off the head of her rapist to defend her honor when he was about to rape her for the third(?) time. She called it honor killing - I couldn't agree more.
How come all the cases are similar since ages and girls still choose that risky path ?
There is a very high content of ego too ....
May be boys tell the truth at the very beginning and get pardoned .....
There is no positive side. Ego and Honour both are very different. In spirituality context the former one is a disease and later on is a beautiful quality (given not assumed).
Why are never the boys killed in this way? Why is it always defencless girls... are they so proud of what they have done.
Stupid culture.
Oh they kill boys too..look up the recent so called honor killing of Dharmendra and Niddhi. These demons are not sexist when it comes to avenging their purported "honor"!
positive side all the honour & dignity lies with sisters / daughters ...
There is no honour in honour killings - It's just murder.
Why is that honor killing always about killing a female member of the family?
Would they kill a boy if he eloped with a girl of another caste?
I don't understand the culture of some people who valued their mother like a goddess but wouldn't bat an eye to cut off the head of their sister/daughter/niece if she disrespect the family wishes and then called it honor killing.
Flock together..and so do barbaric scum bags I guess. Hope those beasts get the toughest penalty applicable. And as for the villagers.. May they get what they deserve!
The brothers confessed because they are proud of what they have done.
The villagers are tight lipped because they want to save face and probably agree with what the brothers did.
Sad state of affairs all round. A young and innocent life lost for no reason. May she rest in peace.
May be they are very much united in all their other decisions too, as a tradition or as a mark of mutual respect.As in all crimes nobody will be speak untill they are the witnesses themselves.
