Patna: In a horrifying incident, a youth and his girl-friend, were stabbed to death and their bodies were burnt at village Kapasia under
Mufassil police station in Aurangabad district. The youth was identified as Neeraj Kumar.
On getting information, SDPO (Sadar) Anup Kumar, Circle Inspector A K Saha, and local SHO Sujit Kumar reached the village and recovered the half-burnt bodies from cremation ghat. Both the half-burnt bodies were sent to Sadar Hospital for autopsy.
Locals said that both Neeraj and the girl were having an affair for the past two years. On August 8, 2020, the girl reached Neeraj’s house. On getting information, girl’s family members also reached there and after some argument, they stabbed both of them and then burnt their bodies at local cremation ghat and escaped from there.
Aurangabad SP Pankaj Kumar said that prima facie, this seems to be case of honour killing. Some persons have been detained for
questioning, he added.
