Mumbai police have arrested a 50-year-old man, Gora Raeesuddin Khan, along with his son, Salman, and another individual, Kaif Khan, while three minors have been detained in an alleged honour killing case.
Gora Khan is accused of murdering his daughter and son-in-law, aided by his son and Salman's friend, due to his disapproval of his daughter's marriage to Karan Ramesh Chandra, NDTV reported.
Chandra's body was discovered in suburban Govandi last Saturday, leading to suspicions about Gulnaz's father, Gora Khan, as she was also missing, police officials said on Tuesday.
Gora Khan reportedly admitted to the crime, stating that he killed the couple with the assistance of others because they had married against his wishes. Subsequently, Gulnaz's body was found in Navi Mumbai.
Gora Khan, Salman, and Kaif Khan have been arrested on charges of murder and are in police custody until 27 October as the investigation progresses, according to the official.
