New Delhi, Aug. 14 -- In a shocking case of alleged honour killing in Hathras, a 19-year-old girl from Aligarh was reportedly murdered and beheaded by her father, stepmother, and step-grandfather over suspicions of bringing "disgrace" to the family. The three accused were arrested on Wednesday, according to a report by The Times of India.

"On August 10, residents of Bahradoi village in Sadabad police limits discovered a sack containing a headless body in a canal. The head was recovered shortly afterwards," the report quoted Hathras SP Chiranjeev Natha Singh.

Since the initial attempt to identify the victim was unsuccessful, police were prompted to organise five teams to track down the victim's identity.
