Murdered By Son-in-law

A 50- year-old man, his son and another person have been arrested by Mumbai police and three minors detained for allegedly murdering the man's daughter and son-in-law in a case of so-called honour killing, police said.

The victim, Dheeru Jatav, had married a woman from the village against her family's wishes two years ago in court, and the couple had fled to Ahmedabad in Gujarat where they had lived since. Both of them belong to the same community.

The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the acquittal of a man who is charged with murdering his son-in-law, a Dalit man. The top court issued a notice to Chinnasamy, after his daughter and the Tamil Nadu government challenged the Madras High Court's decision in the 2016 case of Udumalpet daylight killing case.

Over four years after a 23-year-old Dalit engineering student who married an upper caste woman was hacked to death in Tamil Nadu, the Madras High Court today acquitted the woman's father who was given death penalty and modified the death sentence of the five others to life imprisonment.

Pranay, 23, was a Dalit, a term used to describe those formerly known as "untouchables." Amrutha, 21, belongs to an upper caste. Her rich and powerful family viewed the couple's union as an unacceptable humiliation. Her father, T. Maruthi Rao, was so enraged that he hired killers to murder his son-in-law, court documents say.

A 61-year-old man was shot dead close to his house near the Gurugram-Badshahpur road, allegedly by his son-in-laws, the police said on Sunday.

A sub-inspector has been arrested for the alleged dishonour killing of his son-in-law in Maharashtra's Washin district. Three other members of his family have also been taken into custody.

Four members of a family, including a woman, were allegedly murdered by their son-in-law and his relatives on Sunday morning at Amberpet area in Hyderabad over some family dispute, police said
