In a major development in the Rohtak honour killing case, the police detained four accused, including the victim Sapna’s brother, after an encounter on the Ladhot-Bohar road on Thursday night.

 

All four men received bullet injuries in their legs during the exchange of fire and were taken to PGIMS for treatment. They have been identified as Sanju and Rahul from Kahni village in Rohtak, and Ankit alias Baba and Gaurav from Rukhi village in Sonepat district.

 

The police recovered four pistols, 10 live cartridges, two magazines and a motorcycle from their possession.

 

The four are accused of killing Sapna (23) from Kahni village. She was reportedly shot dead by her brother Sanju and his accomplices at her in-laws’ house on Wednesday night. Her brother-in-law, Sahil, was injured while trying to stop them.

 

As per reports, Sanju was angry because Sapna had married a youth from the same village more than three years ago, against the family’s wishes.
