Noida girl married secretly,family burns her alive

“Sangeeta knew her family would never allow this relationship. So we got married in February this year in the presence of my father,” said Kataria at the Sector 58 police station. However,both stayed on at their respective houses and used to meet after office hours. In April,Sangeeta’s family members told her that they had started looking for a groom for her. “On April 30,she told her family about her marital status. After that she was confined to her home and prohibited from even making calls. She spoke to me just once after that,” added Kataria.

On July 11,Sangeeta was able to come to the boy’s house,the police said,adding that Kataria’s father Devi Ram,however,asked the girl to go back to her house.

Meanwhile,after a family meeting,both families decided that she would come stay at the Kataria residence in Sector 66 from July 18. Sangeeta went back with her parents,but after that Kataria could not contact her. “Her phone was out of reach and was later switched off. I suspected foul play,” Kataria said,adding that he immediately lodged a complaint with the SSP’s office.

According to the police,on July 13,Sangeeta’s family took her to their ancestral village in Bulandshahr. “They strangled her and later set her on fire. They then spread the ashes in the fields and ran a tractor over it,” said Gautam Buddha Nagar SSP Ashok K Singh. He stated the police have arrested Sangeeta’s mother Ramwati,aunt Jagwati,cousin Manoj,uncle Sukhbir and relative Dayaram in connection with the murder. A hunt is not to nab her father Beer Singh,he said.

Girl’s brother beats youth to death
Ghaziabad: A 21-YEAR-OLD man was beaten to death by a girl’s brother and sister-in-law after the two caught him in a compromising position with the girl in Pilkhuwa area of Ghaziabad district late on Sunday night. “Manoj was the girl’s neighbour in Lakhanpur village and also came from the Jaatav community. The two have been in love for the past few months and the families tried to fix their marriage,” said Ghaziabad SSP Raghubir Lal. “However,since Manoj worked as a labourer in a paper in mill and the girl was pursuing graduation,her brother objected to the alliance,” he added.

On Sunday night,when the girl’s parents were away,Manoj allegedly came to the house. Rekha’s brother Yoginder and sister-in-law Sarita were sleeping on the terrace. “However,it started raining and both came downstairs and found Manoj and Rekha in a compromising position. The two then started beating Manoj and threw his body on the road,” the SSP alleged. “We have arrested the couple. Teams have been sent to Bulandshahr to check if the girl,who was taken there by her parents, was safe,” Lal added. ENS
