Two brothers in Punjab kill man in brutal knife attack over sister's love marriage

Police in Punjab have registered a homicide case after a young man was brutally stabbed by two of his acquaintances. The assailants, identified as brothers, dragged the victim to the ground and continued the assault for nearly four minutes, repeatedly plunging knives into his face until his eyes were dislodged.
The attackers' motive, according to initial statements, was retaliation for the victim's role in facilitating their sister's love marriage, which the family opposed. The sustained nature of the assault indicates a premeditated intent to inflict maximum harm.
Investigators have taken the brothers into custody and are processing them under sections pertaining to murder and grievous bodily injury. The case is being examined for possible links to honour‑based violence, a persistent issue in parts of the region.
Authorities have urged the public to report any similar incidents and have promised a thorough probe to bring the perpetrators to justice.
