Dalit man allegedly killed in suspected honour killing in UP’s Muzaffarnagar; wife’s brother among 2 arrested

A 23-year-old Dalit man was allegedly beaten to death with bricks in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district in a suspected honour killing. According to police, the victim had eloped and married a 20-year-old woman about a year prior, moving away to Noida to live and work. The woman's family strongly opposed the relationship from the beginning, leading to resentment and an earlier abduction complaint filed against the man.
