In a chilling incident in Lucknow’s Saadatganj area, a 26-year-old man named Ali Abbas was brutally murdered by his girlfriend’s brothers and their associates.
The attack occurred after Abbas was lured to their home under the pretext of discussing marriage.
The Incident
According to police reports, on the night of the incident, Abbas was invited to the residence of Himalaya Prajapati and Saurabh Prajapati, who are the brothers of his girlfriend. Upon his arrival, he was ambushed by the brothers and their accomplices, who assaulted him with sticks and rods.
When Abbas attempted to flee, they allegedly used bricks to crush his head, rendering him unconscious. Despite being rushed to a nearby trauma center, Abbas succumbed to his injuries en route.
Motive Behind the Murder
Investigations revealed that Abbas had been in a romantic relationship with Himalaya and Saurabh’s sister for over four years.
The family had disapproved of the relationship, and the brothers had previously warned Abbas to end it. However, Abbas and their sister continued to meet secretly, leading to escalating tensions. The brothers, feeling dishonored, decided to take matters into their own hands, resulting in the tragic murder.
Arrests and Police Action
Following the incident, the police arrested Himalaya Prajapati and Saurabh Prajapati. Another accomplice, identified as Sonu, remains at large, and efforts are underway to apprehend him. The police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including murder and conspiracy.
Community Reaction and Law Enforcement Response
The murder has sent shockwaves through the local community, with residents expressing outrage over the brutality of the crime. Local authorities have increased police presence in the area to maintain peace and prevent any retaliatory actions. Community leaders are calling for swift justice and stricter laws to prevent honor-based violence.
Broader Implications
This incident highlights the persistent issue of honor killings in certain communities, where personal relationships are subjected to familial control.
Despite legal advancements, such crimes continue to occur, underscoring the need for comprehensive education and awareness programs to combat deeply ingrained societal norms.
