Katara murder: A matter of `honour`

“The murder was an honour killing by the accused as they did not like their sister having an affair with the boy of a different caste and they could have never accepted her plans to marry him,” Additional Sessions Judge Ravinder Kaur said in the conviction judgement delivered on Wednesday.
“The murder was an outcome of prevalent gender bias,” observed the court which had held Vikas and Vishal guilty for killing Katara six years ago for his intimacy with their sister Bharti Yadav.
