Moradabad
(Uttar Pradesh): A Muslim man has been arrested for
killing his teenaged daughter who was in love with a Hindu youth
from the same village, police said Thursday.
Mushtakeem, a resident of Mawaithakuran village, strangled his
18-year-old daughter Rehana Parveen after she insisted on marrying
her lover Bhoora Prajapati, 21, police said.
Mushtakeem was arrested late Wednesday after Parveen's body was
recovered from their home. The village is in Moradabad district,
some 300 km from Lucknow.
According to police, Prajapati and Parveen used to meet regularly
in the fields on the outskirts of the village. But as Parveen had
not been coming for the last few days, Prajapati approached police
suspecting the girl could be in trouble.
Police raided Mushtakeem's house and recovered his daughter's body
from a locked room.
"Preliminary investigations indicate it's a case of honour
killing. The father has confessed to the crime," police inspector
Ravi Kumar told reporters Thursday.
"The father told us he committed the crime as he thought his
daughter's marriage with the youth of a different community would
bring a bad name to the family," he added.
According to police, besides the father, the girl's family members
could also be involved in the crime.
"Investigations are on in this regard," said Kumar.
