'Never imagined this': Indian village grapples with interfaith couple's killing
AI Summary
An interfaith couple, 19-year-old Kajal (Hindu) and 27-year-old Mohammad Arman (Muslim), were murdered in Umri village, Uttar Pradesh, India, on January 19th, and their bodies were discovered on January 21st. Kajal's three brothers have been arrested for allegedly beating them to death. The incident has shocked the village, which has a history of interfaith harmony. Police suspect it is an "honor killing," a crime committed to punish women for relationships outside their caste or religion. While official statistics record 38 honor killings in India in 2023, activists believe the actual number is much higher. The couple lived near each other in the village; Kajal was a teacher, and Arman had recently returned from working in Saudi Arabia.
