People of 36 communities called the ‘mahapanchayat’ over the murder of the 21-year-old woman. Locals had blocked the highway while the meeting was underway.
Earlier today, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the state government will look into the ‘love jihad’ angle in the murder of the commerce student who was shot dead in broad daylight in Faridabad.
“Since Ballabgarh woman killing case is being linked with ‘love jihad,’ Centre as well as state government is looking into it, and considering legal provisions so that guilty is not able to escape, and no innocent person is punished,” the Chief Minister said.
