A Hindu woman was killed in broad daylight by a Muslim man for refusing to marry him after converting into Islam. The man first tried to abduct the woman; but when she resisted and he was not successful in abduction, he shot her dead. The man is an MLA's cousin.
Both the men allegedly involved in the murder have been arrested and the main accused has been identified as Tausif, police said on Tuesday. The other accused has been identified as Rehan, a resident of Nuh in Haryana.
Meanwhile, the family of the woman has linked the killing of the 21-year-old to so-called 'love jihad'. The family claimed that the woman was attacked outside her college by a man who was infatuated with her while the other accused is his associate.
The 21-year-old's kin said a case had been filed by the family against the main accused in 2018, but the matter was settled later. Haryana Police Commissioner told India Today, “In 2018, Nikita's family filed a kidnapping case against Tausif but the family later said they did not want to take action. We have arrested accused Tausif now.”
