Jalgoan Honour Killing: 24-year-old doctor shot dead by Retired CRPF father
Nashik: In a shocking and tragic case of honour killing in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district, a 24-year-old doctor was allegedly shot dead by her father, a retired police sub-inspector (PSI) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), who also critically injured her husband, reportedly over his disapproval of their love marriage.
In response, the accused father has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following an FIR registered at Chopda police station. He was handed over to the police in an injured condition after being thrashed by a mob for allegedly killing his daughter.
According to the police, the accused father disapproved of the man his daughter had chosen to marry a year ago and was reportedly upset with her decision to go against the family’s wishes. After learning of their presence in Chopda, he allegedly travelled to the wedding venue and shot his daughter dead.
