It has been reported that an Indian woman was beaten and tortured to death by her own family members, while her boyfriend was beheaded in a horrific honour killing after they were lured back to their village thinking were going to be allowed to marry.

20-year-old Nidhi Barak and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Dharmender Barak were killed as locals in Gharnavati village in the Indian state of Haryana watched on.

The pair had eloped to nearby Delhi on Tuesday because their families did not approve of their relationship.



But they had been lured back with promises that they would not be harmed and would finally be allowed to marry.

It was also revealed that Miss Barak's parents and uncle have now been arrested and the police is still searching for her brother and other family members who have disappeared since the crime occurred.

The couple were tortured for several hours at Miss Barak's home before she was beaten to death in full public view.



Dharmender Barak was beaten and his arms and legs broken, before he was beheaded. His body was allegedly dumped near his family's home at a public square in the village.

Police, who had been alerted by a villager, reportedly caught Miss Barak's family cremating her body on a pyre.

Her half-burnt body and that of Dharmender Barak have been sent for a post-mortem.
