UP: Woman, son kill daughter over inter-caste relationship
India
In Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, police have arrested a woman and her son for the murder of her daughter, Farzana.
At first, suspicion fell on Farzana's boyfriend, Sunil Yadav, but call records and CCTV footage pointed to her own family as the real culprits.
Family forced her to drink poison
Farzana met Yadav through social media in October 2025 and their relationship became serious.
When she became pregnant, her family worried about what people would say. To avoid social disgrace, they allegedly forced her to consume poison.
The case took a turn when the accused confessed after Farzana's body was found.
Police say legal proceedings are ongoing.
