Honour killing in India: young couple hit with boulders and tortured to death...

In yet another case of honour killing, a young couple in love was allegedly murdered by the girl's family in Anantapur district. The incident came to light when their bodies were found near the railway tracks in Nakkanadoddi village in Guntakal mandal on Thursday morning.

To mislead the police, the accused allegedly dumped the bodies of Gopal, 21, and Mangamma, 18, close to the railway tracks to portray it as a suicide. The couple, who had been in love for the past two years, were tortured and later hit with boulders by the accused, including Mangamma's father Linganna, leading to their instantaneous death in the late hours of Tuesday.

The victims hailed from Bollanagadda village in Bommanahal mandal of Anantapur district.

 Gopal was son of ex-sarpanch Chintala Ramanjaneyulu of Bollanagadda. When both the families learnt about the couple's relationship some time ago, Linganna confined her daughter to the house and warned her of dire consequences if she did not stop seeing Gopal. More...
