A heart-wrenching incident has unfolded in Maharashtra's Nanded, where a 21-year-old woman, Aanchal Mamidwar, chose to publicly declare her love for her boyfriend, Saksham Tate, even after his alleged murder by her own father and brothers over caste differences. Moments before his final rites, Aanchal 'married' Saksham's lifeless body, vowing to live with his family as their daughter-in-law. Eyewitnesses captured the emotional ceremony on video, which has gone viral on social media. Aanchal, who had been under immense pressure from her family to end her relationship with Saksham due to their different castes, stood firm in her love for him. Speaking to reporters, she demanded the harshest punishment for her father and brothers, who are accused of committing a 'cold-blooded murder'. The police have arrested Himesh Mamidwar, Aanchal's brother, and his father, Gajanan, along with another brother, Sahil. The motive behind the murder is believed to be the couple's inter-caste relationship, which was met with resistance from the Mamidwar family. Saksham, a history-sheeter, was once close friends with Himesh, but their friendship turned sour. Aanchal's act of defiance has sparked outrage and calls for justice, with many hailing her love as a beacon of hope in the face of oppressive family traditions and caste-based violence. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of honor killings and the need for stronger laws to protect victims of such crimes.
