Bulandshahr: Three men
were arrested Wednesday for the alleged honour killing of Mohammad
Hakim, who was shot dead Nov 22 on G.T. Road here, for marrying
Mehwish against their families' wishes.
Hakim was killed on his way home after buying medicines for his
pregnant wife. Hakim's elder brother Unus filed a police complaint
alleging that he was killed by five men. Mehwish claimed they were
her brothers and other relatives.
Searches were being conducted to nab the other two accused,
Bulandshahr police said.
Those arrested are Gullu, Asif and Sarvar. Gullu is the uncle of
Mehwish. Asif and Sarvar are also Mehwish's relatives. Police are
interrogating Aslam, Mahwish's another uncle.
Earlier, Mehwish and Hakim had told police and other government
officials that they could be killed for "honour" and a "reward" of
Rs.50,000 had been announced for their deaths. Following this, the
couple had been filmed for "Satymev Jayate", a television
programme hosted by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, but the clip was
not aired.
In 2010, Hakim and Mehwish eloped a day before she was to get
engaged to her cousin. They married and lived in Meerut, Allahabad
and Delhi, where Hakim plied an auto-rickshaw.
They sought help from a Delhi-based NGO and from an Allahabad
court. After being assured of their safety, they returned to
village.
Mehwish is pregnant for the second time.
