Santrampur Gang Rape Case Revealed as Honour Killing

The gang rape and murder case of a minor girl in Santrampur village on January 14 has taken a shocking turn after investigations revealed it was an honour killing. The girl's parents allegedly murdered her after seeing her in a compromising position with a boy.

Police reported that the couple took the body to a hillside jungle with the help of an accomplice and hanged it to cover up the incident. They fabricated the rape story to take revenge on the minor boy. Earlier, the parents had accused four persons, including the minor boy, of raping and murdering their daughter in the jungles near Kosamba village.

After killing the girl, the parents got a suicide note written by the victim's elder sister, which raised suspicions as the note mentioned the person who killed the girl and other details about the incident. Mahisagar superintendent of police Usha Rada said, "We knew about an elder sister of the victim who was studying in standard 10 and could have written the letter. We questioned the girl who cracked and gave us all the details." The couple, Narvat Dindor and his wife Somi, both farm labourers, have been detained.
