In a suspected honour killing case, a teenaged NRI girl was allegedly poisoned to death by her stepfather, who disapproved of her relationship with a Belgium-based boy belonging to another caste.
18-year-old Amritpal Kaur, a permanent resident of Belgium, fell in love with Lakhbir Singh. The girl was brought to the country last week by her stepfather Mehtab Singh, who allegedly poisoned her to death, police said.
Amritpal was cremated clandestinely by her stepfather following which the matter was reported to the police by close family members. Mehtab Singh was arrested last night and interrogation is on, police said.
Anti-dowry law makes it wife-biased, discriminatory,and poorly formulated. A complaint from your wife or her family member can land husband and his entire family in jail without any investigation. "The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist." - Winston Churchill
