The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Friday sent a notice to the Telangana government and the State's police chief in connection with the murder of a Dalit youth allegedly by his Muslim wife's relatives in Hyderabad, in a suspected case of honour killing.
Her family was apparently opposed to her interfaith relationship and marriage. Both the accused have been arrested and the case, reportedly, would be tried in a fast-track court.
The NHRC has taken suo moto cognisance of media reports that a 25-year-old man was brutally killed in broad public view at Saroornagar in Hyderabad by his wife's brother and another person in a case of suspected honour killing on May 4, the rights panel said in a statement.
