JAISALMER: Two men in an SUV crushed to death a 22-year-old youth belonging to a lower caste for having an affair with their sister in Barmer on Saturday. Such was their hatred towards the victim that the duo rammed their vehicle into his bike and ran it over him twice to ensure that he was dead. The youth's friend accompanying him was also killed.
The youth, identified as Ghanshyam Singh, had eloped with the assailants' sister last year, but was later caught by the police. When he did not distance himself from the girl even after that, the two brothers killed him and his friend.
Police said the incident took place in a village under Nagana police station area, some 20 km from the district headquarters.
"Ghanshyam was close to the sister of one Ajay Singh. He had eloped with the girl in June last year. When her family members lodged an FIR in the matter, the police traced the girl and the youth in Mount Abu. The girl was handed over to the family members," a police officer told TOI. While Ghanshyam was from a Rawana Rajput family, the girl belonged to Rajput caste.
"Ghanshyam continued seeing the girl even after that. The girl's brother Ajay Singh, her distant cousin Jethu Singh and other family members were quite annoyed over this," said Santosh Chalke, SP, Barmer. Ghanshyam was allegedly threatened of dire consequences by the girl's family from time to time, however, he kept ignoring the threats.
He added, Ajay Singh and his friend Jethu Singh were going somewhere in a Scorpio car on Saturday, when they saw Ghanshyam and his friend on a bike in the village.
