Just a few steps from where he was last seen speaking on the phone, Ankit was attacked and stabbed by the mother, father, uncle and younger brother of the 20-year-old Muslim woman he had been dating for three years. All four have been caught, including the woman’s brother, who is underage. The couple was reportedly planning to marry.

According to eyewitnesses, Ankit’s throat was slit by the girl’s family, who also beat up his mother. In front of his helpless mother, Ankit was stabbed in the neck with a knife by his girlfriend’s father and uncle. Communal tensions rose in the area immediately after the incident.
