honour killing
" on suspicion of "disgracing" the family.
The three accused were arrested on Wednesday.
Hathras SP Chiranjeev Natha Singh said, "On Aug 10, residents of Bahradoi village in Sadabad police limits discovered a sack containing a headless body in a canal. The head was recovered shortly afterwards." Initial identification was not possible, prompting police to form five teams to track the victim's identity.
Photographs of the victim's clothing were circulated on social media and via community policing networks.
A breakthrough came when a woman recognised the stitching on the lower garment as her own work for a missing girl from Adhauna village in Aligarh's Akrabad area. The victim was identified as Tamanna, daughter of Hasrat Ali (40).
Police said Ali married Firdos in 2005 and had two daughters - Tamanna and Nisha (16). Dissatisfied with having only daughters, he separated from Firdos six years ago but kept the girls with him.

He later married Rani (38), daughter of Rajjo Pehalwan (60) of Hathras.
Investigations revealed that in July, Tamanna had left home with a man, a resident of the same village, but returned two days later. This angered Ali and Rani, who scolded and beat her.
On Aug 8, she left again but was intercepted by Ali and Rani near Panaithi bridge. Believing she was "defaming" the family, Ali allegedly discussed the matter with his father-in-law, Rajjo, who advised "dealing with it" immediately.
That night, the couple took Tamanna to Rajjo's house in Alhaipur on a motorcycle. There, the three allegedly laced her food with intoxicants, strangled her when she became unconscious, and took her to the canal.
Police say Ali then severed her head and inflicted multiple injuries on the body to hinder identification, while the others held her down. Her clothes were also deliberately disturbed to mislead investigators.

Man murdered, stuffed in adrum in Khairthal-Tijara dist
1 2 Alwar: In a chilling reminder of the infamous Meerut murder case, body of a married man aged around 35 was found stuffed in a 'blue drum' on the rooftop of his rented accommodation in Kishangarh Bas town of Khairthal-Tijara district, Sunday. The murdered man's wife, the couple's three children and the landlord's son have been missing since Saturday, police said. The gruesome discovery was made by the landlord's wife, Mithlesh, who was alerted by a foul odour emanating from the drum. The body, identified as that of Hansraj, aka Suraj, was covered in salt, allegedly to accelerate decomposition. Hansraj, originally from Khandepur village in Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, had been residing in the rented accommodation at Adarsh Colony for approximately six weeks and was employed at a local brick kiln. The discovery sent shockwaves through the colony, as the case bears a striking resemblance to a previous incident in Meerut, UP, where a similar method was used to conceal the murder of a Merchant Navy officer, allegedly by his wife in Feb this year. Khairthal-Tijara SP Manish Chaudhary said, "Hansraj was murdered and his body was placed in the drum with salt. This was a premeditated murder. The deceased's wife and other individuals are being sought. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The case will be solved soon." Police have launched a full-scale investigation following the discovery. Kishangarh Bas DySP Rajendra Singh Nirwan, along with station officer Jitendra Singh Shekhawat and assistant SI Gyanchand, reached the crime scene to conduct a thorough inspection. The deceased's family in UP has been notified and the body has been transferred to the govt hospital mortuary in Kishangarh Bas. The investigation took a complex turn after Hansraj's wife, Sunita, and their three children — Harshal, Nandini, and Golu — were found missing. Additionally, landlord Rajesh's son, Jitendra, who had rented the room to Hansraj, is also missing. Jitendra, whose wife passed away 12 years ago, was known to frequently drink with Hansraj, police said. The landlord's wife said she found Sunita and her children missing when she returned from Janmashtami celebrations on Saturday. Jitendra also failed to return home that evening. The following morning, the odour led her to inspect the drum on the rooftop and to call the police control room. Dy SP Nirwan confirmed that Hansraj's throat had been slit with a sharp weapon, indicating foul play. Police are pursuing leads to uncover the motive behind the murder and locate the missing family members. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
