JAIPUR: Another case of honour-killing reported in India as brothers burnt their sister for marrying a man belonging to different cast.
Rama Kunwar, 30, had eloped with her lover eight years ago and returned to her village in western Rajasthan state on Friday, hoping her family had forgiven her for marrying against their wishes.
But her still enraged brothers barged in as she was visiting her in-laws house and dragged her outside before setting her on fire as other villagers watched.
“She thought that her parents would now accept her but as soon as her brothers came to know that she was in the village, they rushed to that house and dragged her out,” Brijran Singh, a senior administrative officer of Dungarpur district, told AFP.
“She cried for help but no one came to rescue her. They also conducted the funeral on the same night to destroy evidence,” he said.
