Or
attempts to, anyway. Frequently, bigotry
kills by
convincing the oppressed to
kill themselves, but sometimes it leads to
more direct methods:
In
an incident with the twists and turns of an Agatha Christie whodunit, a
30-year-old man was killed by professional assassins allegedly hired by
him to eliminate his own sister.
Police
said that the victim, identified as Samar Das, had hired the gang of
four killers to murder his sister Namita Das (35) who he thought had
brought disgrace to the family by allegedly entering into an incestuous
relationship with their elder brother, 41-year-old Abhimanyu Das (41).
[...] The
genesis of the story goes back several years when the eldest brother
Abhimanyu arrived in Angul from Kendrapada district in search of
livelihood. Subsequently, he called over his sister and brother - Namita
and Samar - and helped them engage in private jobs in Angul.
Though
married, Abhimanyu allegedly developed an incestuous relationship with
Namita that led to friction in the family. After she gave birth to
Abhimanyu’s child recently, he kept her in a separate accommodation
where they lived like husband and wife.
Samar, who by now owned an auto repairing shop in Angul, hired the four criminals for Rs. 3
lakh to murder his sister as he believed she had brought disgrace to
the family by allegedly continuing an incestuous relationship with her
own brother.
[...] Police quoted the arrested
criminals as confessing that they had tried to kill Namita thrice but
failed each time. Fed up with pressure from Samar to execute the job and
not wanting to lose the contract amount, the foursome changed their
plan.
