A case of honour killing has come to fore in coal Capital, in which a father has hacked to death his pregnant daughter as she had married a man from other caste, against her father's will.
The incident took place on Wednesday late evening where Ramprasad Saw, resident of Jharia, hacked to death his 19 years old daughter Khushboo at Nawatand locality under Govindpur locality about 30 km away from Jharia residence.
Saw called Kbushboo by asking her to come with parents to see a piece of land at Nawatand locality which the family was willing to purchase. Though his wife Sunita was accompanying them, Ramprasad in a quick action hacked Khushboo and escaped . Sunita chased her but failed to catch him.
Later she contacted police with the help of her brother. The police team led by DSP headquarters Amar Pandey reached the incident spot at night and recovered the body.
Khushboo had married Karan Bouri seven months ago and was living with her husband at Barwadda. She was pregnant, said Sunita.
In her statement to police Sunita said that she was not aware of ill intentions. She had picked Khushboo thinking that her father had accepted the intercaste marriage. Police have registered a case against Ramprasad who still is absconding.
