JAIPUR: In yet another incident of honour killing, a man stabbed to death his 21-year-old sister and her paramour in Sirohi district on Sunday evening. 

"Sangeeta Devi, a resident of Dhanari village, was having an affair with 30-year-old Rafeeq. The man was already married and has an 8-year-old son from his wife. Sangeeta and Rafeeq had eloped a year ago," a police officer said.

Sangeeta's family registered a case against Rafeeq accusing him of rape. 

"They forced the woman to get married to another man from nearby village. However, Sangeeta stayed only for a couple of months with her husband and then came back and started living with Rafeeq. This time they did not elope but were living together," said the officer. Sangeeta's elder brother Laxman Prajapat was working in Ahmedabad. "When he came to know that her sister had left her husband and was staying with Rafeeq, he came back to the village," said the officer. 

Laxman then started looking for an opportunity to teach her sister a lesson. "Sangeeta and Rafeeq were going somewhere on a motorcycle when Laxman intercepted them in Goliya village on Sunday evening. He suddenly attacked his sister with a knife and stabbed her several times," said the officer. 

When Rafeeq intervened, Laxman allegedly stabbed him also and fled from the spot. "Some villagers informed the police. Rafeeq died on the spot while Sangeeta died on way to hospital in Abu Road area," said police.
