Meerut: A ghastly incident that involved the murder of a 22-year-old girl came into light on Saturday, after neighbours of father-son duo Chaman and Suraj, residents of Timkikya village here in Uttar Pradesh, found the dead body under a heap of manure. According to reports, the deceased was living at her parents' house in the village, after getting divorced from her husband. Enraged over rumours of the girl's extra-marital affair, the father and the son decided to kill her and to set the body on fire along with a mound of cow dung.

After a few locals found the girl's body in the dung, they immediately informed the police, who had taken Chaman and Suraj into custody.
