A 21-year-old woman showed how deeply she was in love with her boyfriend, who was allegedly killed by her father and two siblings, by “marrying” his corpse in Maharashtra’s Nanded district.
Videos of Aanchal Mamidwar’s act at the deceased youth’s house and her call for her family to be hanged for the killing went viral on social media.
According to police, Saksham Tate (20) was standing with his friends in the old Ganj area on Thursday (November 27) evening when a fight erupted between him and Ms. Aanchal’s brother Himesh Mamidwar.
Mr. Himesh allegedly fired at Saksham, the bullet piercing his ribs, and then smashed a tile on his head, killing him on the spot, the official said. Mr. Himesh, his brother Sahil (25) and their father Gajanan Mamidwar (45) were arrested soon after, he added.
On Friday (November 28) evening, Ms. Aanchal arrived at Saksham’s house while preparations were on for his final rites. A distraught Aanchal then “married” his body claiming it would make their love “immortal”, eyewitnesses said.
Later, speaking to reporters, she also sought capital punishment for her father and brothers for murdering Saksham.
“I was in love with Saksham for the past three years but my father opposed our relationship over caste differences. My family often threatened to kill Saksham and now my father and brothers Himesh and Sahil have done it. I want justice. I want the accused to be hanged,” Ms. Aanchal said. She also told reporters that she planned to stay in Saksham’s house from here on.
