A seventeen-year-old girl was allegedly killed by her father in what appears to be a case of honour killing. According to police, Yusuf Ali Quraishi, a resident of Adda village in Meerut, strangulated his daughter Rubina on Friday allegedly for having an affair with her neighbour Ajju.

“Quraishi strangulated his daughter while she was in deep sleep. Rubina’s family didn’t like Ajju and was against the affair between the two,” Mundali police official Wasim Khan told the media.

“Rubina’s body was found in a drain in the neighbouring Ghaziabad district. Rubina’s family is missing and a search is on to nab them,” the police official said.
