In yet another case of honour killing, a girl was murdered allegedly by her father and brother after she married against their wishes.
           
Khamosh, 18, married 21-year-old Sumat, who belonged to the same caste. The match was opposed by her family.
           
Khamosh was strangled to death by her father Ramesh Chand and brother Ankush on April 3 at Nagla Kandwara village in Baghpat district, deputy superintendent of police Rajpal Singh said here today, adding they later burnt her body.
           
Earlier, a case of murder by unknown persons was registered in this regard by the police.
