Showing no remorse, the three youths arrested on Thursday for allegedly carrying out the ghastly honour killing of three of their relatives in Delhi, told the police that they had also planned to murder a sister of one of the victims for marrying in different caste.
Mandeep Nagar (23), Ankit Chaudhury (22) and Nakul Khari (21) tried to call Mandeep's sister Khushboo on phone on Sunday when they allegedly carried out the murders. They had planned to meet her at some place and murder her, but they could not get in touch with her, Senior Superintendent of Police Raghubir Lal said.
Khushboo has been provided police protection, according to Delhi Police.
However, Mandeep's another sister Shobha, 22, was not so lucky.
Lal said that Mandeep first shot dead Shobha, who had earlier eloped with a man belonging to a different caste, in his car.
Mandeep, according to the SSP, told the police that he did not like Shobha pursuing modelling but she was adamant on continuing with it so he killed her.
Thereafter, the accused called Ankit's brother-in-law Kuldeep, 26 near his residence and also shot him dead, leaving his body in his car. They then killed Ankit's sister Monica, 24.
The murders took place between 6.30 pm to 8.00 pm on Sunday.
All the three left for Musoorie and were 'enjoying' there after the murders, Lal said.
The three youths were produced in local court on Friday that sent them to judicial custody for 14 days.
The accused allegedly threw the arms used in the murders in the upper ganga canal, the SSP said.
They were on their way to meet their friends in Garhmukteshwar, 90 km from Delhi, when they were nabbed.
