The father and uncle of a woman have been arrested for allegedly killing her as they did not approve of the relationship that she was in, the Noida police said on Wednesday.
The blood-stained body of the woman was recovered from Mehmood village in Dankaur on Tuesday, Dankaur Station House Officer (SHO) Farmood Ali Pundir said, adding that the deceased has been identified as Jyoti, a resident of Jehangirpur.
Opposed to relationship
During investigation, the police came to know that the woman was in a relationship that her family members objected to.
Mr. Ali said that the father of the victim, Omveer, was brought in for questioning and during sustained interrogation he broke down and admitted to the crime.
The deceased’s uncle, Karan Pal, was also involved in the murder, the police said.
The police said that the family members of the victim had warned her repeatedly to not continue with the relationship.
“The family felt that the woman’s relationship was denting the image of the family. When she didn't listen to them, her father and uncle hatched a plan to eliminate her,” the police said.
The woman was killed with a sharp-edged weapon.
