Phillaur, February 26
A young Adharmi girl, Sandeep Kaur, of Chack Thothrra village in Phillaur subdivision, who was scheduled to be married to her lover Anil Kumar today, died on Saturday.

Phillaur DSP Amarpreet Singh said Anil of Mahlan village near Goraya, who ran an electronics shop in Apra, fell in love with Sandip, daughter of a transporter. The lovers registered their marriage with the Registrar of Marriages, Chandigarh, in August in 2009.

With their parents rejecting the marriage, Sandeep started living with her parents. It was after a lot of persuasion that Anil and Sandip’s parents decided to get the two married in the traditional way.

Strangely, Sandip breathed her last a day before the wedding on Saturday afternoon.

Her parents told the police that she had been suffering from typhoid. Anil’s parent, however, refused to believe this, alleging that it was a case of “honour killing”.

The DSP said all would be clear after a post-mortem by a team of doctors at the local Civil Hospital.
