Daughters strangulated for ‘honour’
May 13th, 2011 - 2:11 pm ICT by IANSBaghpat (Uttar Pradesh), May 13 (IANS) Two women in collusion strangulated their daughters here as they were having affairs with two youths, police said Friday. The two mothers have been arrested.
Zahida, 21, and Husno, 27, - both neighbours in Nai Basti locality - were strangulated to death early Thursday inside their houses.
“Preliminary investigations reveal that the two women assisted each other to kill their respective daughters. Both the cases appear to be honour killings, as initial probe indicates that the two mothers - Khatoon and Subrato - killed their daughters after they learnt about their affair with youths of the same locality,” police Inspector A.K. Kushan told reporters in Baghpat, some 400 km from Lucknow.
“The two women were arrested late Thursday. We started our investigations after we became suspicious about the two deaths after Zahida’s sister approached us, suspecting foul play behind the incidents,” he added.
According to police, Khatoon first killed her daughter Zahida with the with the help of Subrato.
“The two strangulated Zahida while she was sleeping. Later, Husno was killed in similar manner,” said Kushan.
“We believe other members of the family could also be involved in the killings. Investigations are on in this regard,” he added.
