In a suspected case of honour killing, a 16-year-old boy was allegedly pushed into a canal near Kithwari village in the district by kin of a girl with whom he had been in friendship for the past six months.
The victim has been identified as Akash, a Class X student. The local police have registered a case in this regard. However, no arrest has been made so far. The incident took place on Friday.
In the police complaint, Akash's aunt Poonam claimed that both Akash and the girl, who studied in the same school, were rusticated from the school few months ago after someone complained about their relationship to the authorities.
The boy, who originally hailed from Bulandshahar district in UP, had been residing with his aunt and uncle at Islamabad village here for studies. He had returned to his home district few months back after his expulsion from the school.
Calling it a case of honour killing, Poonam said Akash, who had come here last week to meet her, left for his house on Friday morning. However, around noon a friend of Akash informed her that the girl's kin were seen with him on the banks of the canal at Kithwari village.
She alleged that when she reached the spot, Akash was allegedly pushed into the canal by the girl's kin.
"We have registered a case of murder and have launched a probe to identify the culprits," said a police official, who added that the angle behind the murder was still under investigation.
