Death of the youth Now turned to a Murder

Responding to a query, she said, "We have come across reports about honour killing by Parameshwar’s family members but we are yet to get evidence."

Police officials started looking into the case when they got wind of the family attempting to complete the cremation of the body in a clandestine manner.
