Man Kills Sister Over Inter-Faith Relationship In Uttar Pradesh

A 25-year-old man allegedly strangled his 21-year-old sister to death in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal in what police suspect to be an honour killing linked to her relationship with a man from another community, officials said on Friday. 

The deceased’s father even justified the action by his son,



saying it was correct to kill a girl who insults her family, they said. 

After the crime was reported from the Matawali Patti area within the Asmoli police station limits, the man himself informed the police and confessed to killing his sister. He has been taken into custody, police said.
