A village in Haryana watched a family lynch a girl, and behead her lover. The 2 love birds returned home after being away for a while, thinking that their families will let them marry each other.
Nidhi Barak, 20 and Dharmender Barak, 22 eloped and went to a neighbouring village since their families did not approve of their relationship. They came back a while later thinking their families will be lenient enough to finally let them marry amidst persuasion from the girl's parents assuring them no harm will come to them. That was not the case as both were tortured in the full glare of the public, the girl beaten to death and the boy beheaded.
the culprits are on the run as at the time of writing this piece.

On Wednesday evening, a
village in Haryana looked on as a girl was lynched by her family, and a
boy beheaded. Hours ago, they had returned to the village, thinking
that their families would finally allow them to marry.
The girl’s parents and uncle have been arrested and her brother is
missing since the crime, a shocking example of medieval-style killings
in the name of ‘family honour’ in Chief MinisterBhupinder Singh Hooda’s
hometown, Rohtak, and in a village just 80 km from the capital.

FAMILY LYNCHES DAUGHTER TO DEATH, BOYFRIEND BEHEADED FOR MARRYING
WITHOUT CONSENT
On Wednesday evening, a village in Haryana looked on as a girl was
lynched by her family, and a boy beheaded. Hours ago, they had returned
to the village, thinking that their families would finally allow them to
marry.
The girl’s parents and uncle have been arrested and her brother is
missing since the crime, a shocking example of medieval-style killings
in the name of ‘family honour’ in Chief MinisterBhupinder Singh Hooda’s
hometown, Rohtak, and in a village just 80 km from the capital.
Nidhi Barak, 20, and Dharmender Barak, 22, eloped and went to
neighbouring Delhi on Tuesday, since their families back in the
Gharnavati village did not approve of their relationship. Nidhi was a
student of fine arts, while Dharmender was pursuing a technical course.
Nidhi’s parents allegedly persuaded her to come back, promising not to
harm the young lovers.
The police say what followed was hours of torture for the couple at
Nidhi’s home, ending with their death. The girl was beaten to death in
full public view. The boy was brutally beaten and his arms and legs
broken, before he was beheaded. His headless body was allegedly dumped
at a public square in the village.
The family of the girl was allegedly caught in the act of cremating her,
when a police team arrived. They had been alerted by a villager. The
police then took the girl’s half-burnt body and the boy’s remains for a
post-mortem.
Police say relatives of both the girl and the boy are on the run.
Murders like these are chillingly common in villages of Haryana
dominated by the diktats of lawless ‘Khap panchayats’ who forbid
marriages within the same village or same caste.
The Haryana Human Rights Commission has taken note of the horrific
killings and asked for a report from the police.
