Tirupati: In a case of ‘honour killing’, a couple was arrested on Friday for eliminating their daughter after they came to know that she was in love with a Dalit boy of Nellorevaripalle village in Punganur Mandal. According to Peddapanjani police, Sriramulu and Parvathamma of Scheduled Tribe (Erukala caste) live in Nellorevaripalle village and had a daughter, Srivani (17).
Srivani fell in love with Suresh (18), belonging to Scheduled Caste and was undeterred by repeated warnings. The boy was even physically assaulted by girl’s parents. When their daughter remained adamant, the parents ‘hatched’ a plan to kill her to protect their family’s honour.
The parents took the girl to Gurrappakonda Temple in Peddapanjani mandal on the pretext of performing special puja on January 17. After the puja, they killed their daughter in the nearby forest and returned home leaving the body there.
