KANPUR: A youth was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by the brothers of his lover for the sake of "honour" in Shivli area of Ramabainagar district.
According to the police, the badly mutilated body of Mahendra Kureel, a resident of Niralanagar ward in Shivli, who was missing since late Sunday night, recovered from a well on Shivli-Rasoolabad road on Wednesday.
According to a senior police official, the accused as per the FIR lodged by deceased's wife Uma have been identified as Rajkumar and Sanjay, who managed to flee after the incident and several police teams are working to apprehend him.
"It's a case of an honour killing and a hunt is on for the culprits involved in the incident," said SP, Ramabainagar, Subhash Dubey.
According to another police official close to investigation, the assailants had tied the hands and legs of Mahendra before strangulating him to death.
"Rajkumar and Sanjay had developed enmity with their neighbour Mahendra Kureel as he had eloped with their sister Uma about a year ago and later married her in Court. However, about ten days ago Mahendra along with Uma returned his Shivli home and started staying there.
It seems Rajkumar and Sanjay's pride was hurt and they decided of eliminating Mahendra.
Police said, "Some unidentified men had waylaid Mahendra on Sunday July 31 night and forcibly abducted him at gun-point."
Police investigation has also revealed that Rajkumar and Sanjay often threatened Mahendra with dire consequences.
"We have come across many people in the village who told us that Uma's siblings pride was hurt when she eloped with Mahendra and they often talked of avenging it. The accused had in fact threatened Mahendra and his family members several times," said the official.
The body has been sent for the postmortem to mortuary, he added.
