Police had suspected that it might be a case of honour killing. The couple had eloped last year against the wishes of their families, they had said.

In August last year, the couple had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court, demanding police protection. The court had passed directions to the Sonipat police for the couple’s safety. — PTI
