In a suspected case of honour killing, a 17-year-old girl and her boyfriend were allegedly strangulated to death by her family members in Mansurpur in Muzaffarnagar, UP, the police said today.

Anchal was in a relationship with Arun Kumar (18) but her family was against it, the police said. The girl and her lover were strangulated to death by her brother, his friend and three others yesterday, the superintendent of police (city) Rajesh Kumar Singh said.

They later dumped the bodies in the Ganga canal, he said.

A case was registered in the matter and Kumar's body was recovered from the canal while a search is on for Anchal's body, Singh said.

The police have arrested the girl's brother and his friend in connection with the case while three other accused are absconding, the officer said.
