JIND: A 27-year-old youth was killed and his body dumped in a canal after his relationship with a dalit girl was found out. The body was identified on Saturday.

The body of Krishan Nain, a resident of Amargarh village in Haryana's Jind district, was found in Narwana-Adampur-Sarangpur canal on October 18.

Nain fell in love with the dalit girl after they met at a wedding two years ago. He worked in a private firm at Narwana, about 30 km from Jind. Recently, they had decided to marry, police said.

A panchayat was held after the girl's family learnt about their relationship. The issue was resolved at the panchayat. The girl's family had decided to move out of Amargarh village and settle down in Narwana town. But, Nain continued to meet the girl.

"When Nain met the girl on October 17, her family members beat him outside her house. Nain went missing after that and his mobile phone was found to be switched off.

"The girl's relatives allegedly killed him and threw the body in the canal the same night," Nain's brother Gurdev told police. Gurdev had lodged a complaint at Narwana police station after which police registered a murder case against more than a dozen people, including the girl, her father Veer Bhan and brothers Pradeep and Sukhdeep, said Satya Prakash, Narwana police station SHO.

No one has been arrested yet. "The autopsy report shows Nain was strangled to death. Later, his hands and legs were tied and the body was stuffed in a nylon bag and thrown into the canal," said Prakash.
