New Delhi: In a case of honour killing, a young man killed his sister over a relationship and later walked to the police station with the severed head of his sister, in UP’s Barabanki. He was arrested.

The incident took place in the Mithwara village in the Fatehpur area following an argument between Riyaz (22) and his sister Aashifa (18). Riyaz allegedly beheaded his sister with a sharp weapon and was on his way to the police station with her head in his hand when the police arrested him, Additional Superintendent of Police, Ashutosh Mishra told PTI.

Aashifa had recently eloped with her partner Chand Babu, a resident of the same village.  However, the police recovered Aashifa a few days later and sent Babu to jail based on a complaint filed by the woman’s family members.

A police team reached the location where the woman was beheaded and sent the body for an autopsy after collecting the required evidence, the ASP said.

According to locals, Riyaz was opposed to his sister’s relationship and the two often quarrelled over the issue, the police said.

Police reached the crime location and sent the body for an autopsy, the report added.
