PATNA: In a suspected case of honour killing in Bihar, the bodies of a couple have been found on a railway track three km east of Begusarai railway station.
Police said that the deceased had been identified as Ramnunu Paswan (25), a native of Rajapur Dumri under Lakho police station limits and the Sarpanch’s daughter Rupam Kumari, a native of Ayodhya Bari village.
The woman victim’s mother Anita Devi, who is a Sarpanch, claimed, “We have nothing to do with the twin murder. Both my daughter and the man, who was our driver, were having a love affair for a long time. When we came to know about it, we sacked him from the job. Later, both of them entered into a suicide pact and killed themselves.”
Police said Ramnunu was working as a driver at the home of Sarpanch for the last several years and he fell in love with her (sarpanch’s) daughter and continued to meet her even after he was sacked from the job.
It is widely believed that the Sarpanch masterminded the murder of his daughter as she allegedly called the driver from his house on the pretext of downloading sand from a tractor trolley. But Sarpanch and her other accomplices thrashed him and killed him subsequently.
As people were agitated over the twin murder, the parents of the girl surrendered at Lakho police station. Police are interrogating them to unravel the truth behind the twin murder.
