'Love

Sirsa (Haryana): The bodies of a young man and woman
were recovered from cotton fields in this Haryana district and
police Sunday said they suspected it to be a case of honour
killing.
The victims were identified as Inder Pal, 22, and Maya, 18, and
they were said to be in a relationship for the last many months.
Their bodies were found in the fields in Phoolkan village Friday
night.
"Inder Pal and Maya were neighbours in Phoolkan village and they
wanted to marryr. They went missing on the intervening night of
Sep 17-18. Police found their decomposed bodies from the fields on
Friday night," Devendar Singh, investigation officer of the case,
told IANS Sunday.
"It seems they were hit by some hard object or a baton to kill
them. We suspect a honour killing and we are recording the
statements of their family members. We have also gathered some
clues from the crime spot and very soon we will arrest the
accused," Singh said.
Maya was a Class 11 student whereas Inder Pal was a labourer in
the fields. Their family members were against their relationship
and Inder was forcibly married to another girl two months back.
Maya's brother Brij Lal, however, alleged that his sister was
abducted by Inder's family.
Brij Lal said: "Inder's family members abducted Maya while we had
gone to attend a religious function. We are sure that they killed
my sister."

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
