In a suspected case of dishonour killing, a teenager was allegedly strangled by his lover's family and then hanged to make it appear a case of suicide, police said today.
Jai Prakash Pasi, 19, was found hanging from a tree in Rauhi village this morning.
During investigation, it was found that Mr Pasi, who had eloped with a girl about a month ago, was allegedly lured back by her family yesterday. He was allegedly beaten up and strangled before being hanged to pass it off as a case of suicide, Superintendent of Police Pratip Kumar Misra said.
It was only after spotting a tattoo of the girl's name inked on his arm that police talked to her family and took four persons including her father into custody, he said.
