” Every Child has a right to be Protected from Honor Killing.”

Love birds Rekha and Sonu were thrashed,strangled and burnt to death in the viilage Vair under PS Kakor,in Greater Noida by the
father of the girl victim Gulab Singh and his relatives on 18th
September 2008.

Rekha(18 years)was a brilliant student of class 10th and the dalit boy Sonu was a laborious student of class 11th. Both were love friends since 2006.

According to the SP Rural Baburam on September 18 someone had informed the girl’s father Gulab Singh about the Rekha and Sonu’s meeting.Gulab Singh and his relatives caught both Rekha and Sonu in the farm and they were thrashed brutally.After that they were strangled and their bodies were thrown in the fire.They escaped from the site of the half burnt victim’s bodies due to the sudden arrival of the police force.

The main accused Gulab Singh is the one of the richest and the most powerful person of the Vair village,where as Sonu’s father
Raju @ Rajkumar is a dalit by caste and he belongs to a low income group.Raju was forced to compromise with the killers of his son and not to file an FIR against them.He was also locked up in the PS Kakor by the local police, but he was released by the SSP R.K. Chaturvedi.

The autopsy reports of the half burnt bodies of the victims shows that Rekha and Sonu were brutally beaten, strangled to death and after that their bodies were thrown in the fire.Multiple injuries on the both corpses says the horrible stories of the barbaric
crime and their long unsuccessful struggle for life from the
claws of the social monsters.

Victim Sonu’s autopsy report also confirms that his sexual organs were cut off by the killers.

Amazingly there were not any sign of grief or fear on the faces
of the accused.

Unfortunately,there are two groups in the villge Vair,where one group supports this barbaric social system and another group is against this social evil.

Such types of barbaric acts is now a national burning problem.
The graph of Honor Killing is rising at an alarming rate.

There must be stringent punishments for the real culprits of such types of heinous crime.Capital Punishment is the only solution of this social evil.

Let’s unite and work together for the eradication of this
barbaric social evil and for the protection of the matrimonial rights of the Children.
