In yet another case of “honour killing” in the capital, a class IV government employee and his lover were murdered allegedly by the woman's husband and cousins, her brother and one of her paramours.

The incident was reported from south Delhi's Sarojini Nagar. The victims have been identified as Uttam Kumar and Anju. Six persons, including Anju's husband Karambir, have been arrested in this regard. They are Anju's alleged paramour Navin Kumar (24), Jagphool (23), Shokeen (24), Manoj (27) and Rishi Das (21), her brother.

“The murders were at the hands of close family members. It is a case of honour killing,” a senior police official said. The incident came to light following investigations into a complaint filed Kumar's brother Keshav on June 27 that the former was missing since June 19. Kumar was working at Electricity Division of CPWD in Safdarjung Hospital.

Investigators found that Anju was murdered allegedly by Karambir on June 22. Karambir had admitted to killing his wife, police said. — PTI
