In a shocking case of suspected horror killing, a 20-year-old Haseen strangled his 16-year-old sister Amrisha to death over her will to marry a Hindu man of her choice. The incident transpired in the Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh on 7th August. A video of the incident went viral on social media. The accused, an electrician, has been arrested by the authorities. He was angry about his sister’s love affair with a guy outside their Muslim community. The instance took place in the Nagla Shekhu village of Incholi police station area in Meerut.
Hassen killed his sister in the middle of the road while shouting that she ruined their father’s honour. Many people assembled around the two when someone recorded the horrifying occurrence and shared it online. The footage showed the perpetrator sitting on the chest of the minor and choking her. She was in love with a young man from a nearby village named Mohit. He used to frequently visit her hamlet as his sister was married there and the pair fell in love. The deceased even planned to elope with her lover and ran away from home thrice.
She fled to him in March and was recovered by police. She went to him again in May and was brought back. She did the same in August before returning. The culprit was furious about it and claimed that she had destroyed their family’s name by repeatedly running away from home and brought disrepute to their father’s honour. She wanted to again elope on the fateful day and Haseen found about out it after which they two had an altercation. He had also assaulted her.
He dragged her out of their residence and took her to the road where he started yelling, “She has ruined my father’s honour. She will even devour him. If I had not killed her, he would have died. She has run away from home three times. What would I have done if I had not killed such a person?” Several men and women were present at the scene, yet none intervened to stop him.

मुस्लिम लड़की का हिन्दू लड़के से अफेयर था। वो शादी की जिद पर अड़ गई। फैमिली ने समझाया कि दोनों के धर्म अलग-अलग हैं, ये शादी नहीं हो सकती। आज भाई हसीन ने बीच सड़क पर गला दबाकर बहन को मार डाला। भीड़ तमाशा देखती रही।

Kamlesh Bahadur, Superintendent of Police (Meerut rural) informed, “She had recently eloped with the man and we brought back both of them. She was handed over to her family because of being a minor while the accused was also freed as her family members refused to lodge the complaint, fearing social stigma.” Furthermore, the police stated that they suspected it to be an honour killing.
The official added, “Her family members wanted to get her married but she used to have arguments with them over it. As per information provided by the neighbours, she had an argument with her brother about marrying the man of her choice in the morning. Her brother Haseen got enraged during the argument and strangled her.” Her brother followed her after she escaped her residence and beat her on the road. He later strangled her there, according to the cops.
Haseen has two children and is the eldest among his eight siblings while Amrisha was the youngest. He worked outside and had come back after learning that his sister had absconded from the house. He was apprehended from his home after the cops were informed about the killing and a First Information Report has been registered against him. He confessed to the crime and asserted that he did the right thing as his sister threatened to leave the house. She was adamant about marrying the Hindu boy.
