In a shocking incident at a remote tea garden in Assam's Lakhimpur district, the body of a man in his twenties was found hanging from a tree.
The family of the young man, Biki Bishal, alleged he was called by someone from his adivasi girlfriend's family to her village on September 11, a day before the body was found.
The family alleged that Bishal, a Hindu who also belongs to the same adivasi community as the girl, was killed and hanged as he was under pressure to convert to his girlfriend's religion, Christianity, if he wanted to marry her.
A police case has been filed and five people have been arrested, including the father of Bishal's girlfriend, her two uncles and officials of a church.
