Lucknow, April 5

A double murder rocked the state capital on Sunday during lockdown when a man and a girl were killed by the girl’s family for having an affair.

The incident took place in Saadatganj locality where Abdul Malik, 30, was having an affair with an 18-year-old girl, who was his neighbour.

According to reports, Malik, who is married with two children, had gone to meet the girl around 2 am on Sunday.

Hearing their screams, the residents in the locality came out and informed the police.

The police have arrested Suleiman, Usman, Danish and Rano, from their home.

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem. — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
