JE News Desk: A alleged case of honour killing was reported from Madhya Pradesh's Morena where an 18-year-old woman and her 21-year-old boyfriend were allegedly killed by her family. The bodies of the couple were thrown into the crocodile-infested waters of the Chambal River in Morena district, the Police said.

As per the reports, the victims were identified as Shivani Tomar and Radheshyam Tomar. Both were in a relationship. However, the family of the girl objected to the couple's relationship because they both shared the same surname. Despite strong disapproval of their relationship, the young couple continued to meet each other, which made the family furious.
