A horrific case of an honour killing was seen in the city, claiming the life of a girl, who is a minor. The case came to light after police Sub-Inspector Vilas Mate, from the Kashimira police station, was on his routine night duty. He overheard two waiters at a highway hotel talking about the mysterious disappearance of a girl who had come to the city from her village in Uttar Pradesh. Mate immediately took the two in for questioning.

The accused, Shivchandra Rajbhar alias Raju and Ramesh Rajbhar, confessed that they killed the 17-year-old. Pic/Azim Tamboli
