Two lover killed for getting married

Nidhi Barak, 20 years a fine arts student, and  Dharmender Barak, 23, who was studying at technical college, were killed last night as locals in Gharnavati village in the Indian state of Haryana by her family. The pair had eloped to nearby Delhi on Tuesday because their families did not approve of their relationship.

Dharmender Barak was beaten and his arms and legs broken, before he was beheaded. His body was allegedly dumped near his family's home at a public square in the village.
Police, who had been alerted by a villager, reportedly caught Miss Barak's family cremating her body on a pyre.

Her half-burnt body and that of Dharmender Barak have been sent for a post-mortem.
