A 25-year-old man strangled his 15-year-old sister on Saturday night, October 21, after seeing her in a compromising position with a young man during prayers at a local temple in Bihar's Madhubani district. After the girl failed to return from prayer, her mother alerted the police. Despite extensive searches, every trace of her was missing.
After extensive investigations, suspicions arose that the elder brother, Om Prakash Yadav, was busy misleading the police and that he himself might be the culprit. He eventually confessed that he had killed his sister and buried her body in the riverbed. Om Prakash was arrested and sent to jail. Police consider the murder a case of "honor killing."
