A special court in Etah on Wednesday handed death sentence to 10 of the 14 accused in a 2008 honour killing case. One of the accused was let off due to insufficient evidence while another was awarded one-year imprisonment . The remaining two are minors and are being tried by the Juvenile Justice Board. The court also imposed a Rs 10,000 fine on each accused.

Pronouncing the death sentence, special judge Rajendra Sharma cited a Supreme Court observation that death penalty should be the punishment for honour killing. In November 13, 2008, there was a triple murder at UP's Palikatra village. Vajiya (18), a resident of Palikatra, had allegedly eloped with Udaipal Singh (26) in October, 2008. On November 13, they returned to Udaipal's house.

When Vajiya's father Ramesh Pal learnt that they had married, he went to Udaipal's house with his three sons, elder brother and some locals. They forcibly took away Vajiya , Udaipal and his brother Ramesh Singh with them.

The accused beat them, while villagers watched as mute spectators. The next morning, their mutilated bodieswere found on the outskirts of the village.

Udaipal's mother lodged an FIR with the Jalesar police against Vajiya's father Ramesh Pal, her elder brother Ajay Pal, two younger minor brothers, uncle Surjan Singh and his three sons and four relatives of Vajiya.
