Brutal Honour Killing In Maharashtra as Family Opposes Inter-Caste Love
A 20-year-old man was beaten up, shot and his head was crushed with a stone in Maharashtra's Nanded. At his funeral, his girlfriend applied vermillion on her forehead and vowed to live in his house as a daughter-in-law.
Aanchal met Saksham Tate through her brothers and grew closer over frequent visits to his home. Their three-year-old relationship recently began facing pressure from her family, who opposed their union over a difference in their castes. Aanchal continued their relationship with Tate despite numerous threats.
When Aanchal's brothers and father learned that she was going to marry Tate, they beat him up on Thursday, shot him in the head and crushed his head with a stone.
