Last Updated 18 September 2012, 19:05 IST

A 17-year-old girl was allegedly hacked to death by her family members for having an affair with a boy and marrying him without their approval.

Though the police have arrested the mother of the girl, the rest of the family members are absconding.

The incident happened on Monday morning at Nakasipara area in Nadia district.  “Mampi Ghosh was killed by his father Swashan Ghosh, uncle Manik Ghosh and brother Balaram Ghosh in daylight in front of the villagers,” said the police.

It all began in April this year when the class X student,  Mampi, eloped with a local daily wage labourer Sanjay and married him. Mampi’s  parents, citing that the girl was not adult at that time, lodged a case of kidnapping against Sanjay, which ultimately led to his arrest.

According to the police, Mampi who was staying at his uncle’s house at Vevodanga village again ran away and came to Sanjay’s house after his release from jail.
