In a shocking case of dishonour killing in Banaskantha, Gujarat, an 18-year-old woman named Chandrika Chaudhary was allegedly murdered by her father and uncle. Hours before her death, Chandrika had sent a chilling text to her boyfriend, Harish Chaudhary, pleading for help as she feared her family would kill her due to their disapproval of her relationship.
