In Noida, two brothers were held for murdering their sister, and then filing a missing complaint to mislead the cops. The accused committed the heinous crime all in the name of “protecting family honor” and dumped their deceased sister’s body in the Hindon River. The incident was reported from Noida’s Gautam Buddha Nagar and the accused were identified as Sartaj and Shahrukh, residents of Noida Phase 2.
The victim in the matter was identified as Nazma. The matter came to the fore when Nazma’s body was found floating in the Hindon river near Chaar Murti roundabout under Ecotech-3 police station jurisdiction on March 13th. A post-mortem examination revealed that the woman died of strangulation about five days prior to the discovery of the body.
The very next day, Sartaj reported his sister Nazma missing at Surajpur police station, stating that she had been missing for the past five days. Upon further investigation, the police suspected the two brothers to be behind the killing.
The duo were unhappy with Nazma’s alleged drinking habit and her failed marriage, and decided to take the law into their own hands.
The accused have been arrested under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and sent to judicial custody.
The Facts of the Matter
In India, killings due to societal norms and family expectations are more common than one would like to imagine or assume. From the national capital to the farthest corner of the nation, women and men are often killed by their own family members for failing to meet societal norms and choosing to live their life their own way
In one such incident, a woman in Nodia was slain by her own brothers, after they were unhappy with her habit of indulging in alcohol and having failed marriage. The accused in the matter were identified as Sartaj and Shahrukh.
Sartaj and Shahrukh reportedly strangled their own sister Nazma, and then dumped her body in the Hindon River.
