New Delhi: In a shocking incident of honour killing a few weeks ago in Jammu and Kashmir parents of a Muslim girl allegedly killed her husband who was a Hindu. The girl and her in-laws are now hoping for an enquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

For 27-year-old Aanchal Sharma the fight for justice wont stop until she sees her father and brothers behind bars.

She believes they were behind the killing of her husband Rajneesh, who was arrested by the Srinagar police on charges of abduction just a month after their marriage and was later found dead inside a police lockup.

Aanchal was originally a Kashmiri Muslim but became a Hindu to marry Rajneesh.

"My both brothers were present when he was being arrested. My father and brothers are responsible for his death," alleges Aanchal.

Rajneesh's body showed signs of brutal torture which go against police claim that he committed suicide.

"They don't vene treat terrorist like he was treated. He was brutally beaten up and his face was disfigured. Why was he being punished? He was then hanged in his cell," claims Rajneesh's brother Pawan Sharma.

After her husbands death on October 5 Aanchal has been with her in-laws and petitioning the Supreme Court for an investigation.

"I will not let my husband's death go in vain. I want justice," says Aanchal.

Aanchal and her in-laws have been in Delhi for almost a month now. Since then, they have been running form pillar to post in order to get justice.

The hearing in the Supreme Court is scheduled on November 27 and they are hoping that there will finally be a CBI inquiry into the matter.

  • Poor fellow....you usually only hear about the honour killings of women and rarely the cases of the men. The best to her and I hope justice prevails.
