The Muzaffarnagar police in Uttar Pradesh have arrested the father and brother of a 23-year-old woman for allegedly strangling her and burning her body after pouring petrol over it, said officers Monday.
A probe has revealed that the accused killed the woman because they were ashamed of her extramarital relationship.According to the police, on June 3, half-burnt body of a woman was found in the jungle of the Katia village under the limits of the Kakrouli police station in Muzaffarnagar. “Her body was found in a field nearby, then the owner of the field called and informed us about it,” Joginder Singh, Station House Officer, Kakrouli, told “Once we sent her body for the postmortem, we tried to identify her. The body was completely burnt. A silver bracelet on her hand was our only clue. We first took a close photo of it (bracelet) and then started looking for missing women around the village,” SHO Singh said.“When we moved around the village, we learned that one woman named Saraswati had been missing. Because of continuous disputes in her marriage, the girl was known in the village, and some people told us that they had not been seeing her,” said SHO Singh.
