Just days after the terrible honour killing in Nalgonda, where a Dalit youth was murdered in front his pregnant wife, a newly-wed couple was brutally attacked in Hyderabad on Wednesday afternoon by the girl's drunk father. He chopped off the girl's hand and seriously injured her husband. The girl is in a critical condition. The CCTV footage obtained by police showed how the accused first hit the boy, who somehow managed to free himself and run away. Manohar then set his eyes on his daughter. He hit her on her hand, chopping off her lower left forehand, and then slit her left jaw. She shouted out at her father to stop, a witness said, quoting the girl, who fell heavily on the ground. According to the Banjara Hills Police, the accused, Manohar Chary, 42, employed in a jewellery workshop in SR Nagar, was arrested from his brother in-law's house at MS Makhta later in the evening. He was upset over the inter-caste marriage and carried out the attack on B Sandeep, 22, and Madhavi Chary, 20, who were in a relationship for five years. They secretly married in a temple in Bolarum on September 12, despite stiff opposition from the girl's father. The boy, who lost his father and is a college student, is a Dalit, while the girl is an OBC. On Wednesday afternoon, Manohar called his daughter over phone and asked her to come with her husband for reunion. The couple readily agreed and reached the busy Gokul Theatre in Erragadda area on a Scooty, and waited for some time. Around 3.15pm, Madhavi's father arrived on a bike and pulled out a sickle from his bag, before attacking them. ACP Vijay Kumar, Banjara Hills said that the boy suffered head injuries to his , but girl has deep cuts on her forehand and left side of neck. Police have registered a case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC and the SC and ST Act against Manohar and found his blood alcohol level at an alarming 370 mg/100 ml. He was consuming alcohol for the past five days. “He told us that he wanted to kill his daughter and was hoping she would come alone,” DCP (west zone) AR Srinivas said.
