HYDERABAD: Though Sanjana Yadav, wife of the victim, and relatives of Neeraj Panwar took to the streets on Saturday demanding capital punishment for the killers, Sanjana’s parents deny the claims of ‘honour’ as motive behing the killing.

Sanjana’s sister Mamta said she got in touch with her within two months of the wedding. When Sanjana said she was being threatened as she had an intercaste marriage, Mamta clarified that it wasn’t someone from the family.
