Daughter was killed for family honour by father

Yet another young life has been snuffed out in the name of honour killing, this time in the Rajput community, in Nawanshahr district.

Hearing of his 17-year-old daughter's relationship with a relative, Raghbir Singh allegedly poisoned Manpreet Kaur to death. Police arrested Raghbir and sent the ashes and bones of the deceased for forensic tests.

"Raghbir used to scold Manpreet because of her relationship with the boy, the son of her mother's cousin and also related to her father. But Manpreet, who completed Plus Two this year, continued seeing the boy, who is unemployed," said a police officer involved with the investigations.
Banga SHO Lakhbir Singh told TOI that Raghbir had given a complaint to the police saying his daughter had threatened to commit suicide over the relationship.
"On June 3, he poisoned the girl at around 8 am with tablets and she died within minutes. He then informed his relatives and friends in the village that Manpreet had died all of a sudden."
Passing it off as a natural death, Raghbir cremated Manpreet’s body on June 3 afternoon but some cops present in the village at that time, grew suspicious.
"When we questioned the father, he confessed to killing his daughter," said Lakhbir Singh.
Police also recovered the container in which the tablets were stored. The SHO said, "The father said when his pleas with his daughter fell on deaf ears, he was left with no option but to save his family's honour."
