A young man, who eloped with his 18-year-old lover, was brutally murdered by the family members of the girl in Karimnagar district of Telangana on Thursday.

Mahankali Anil (22), a water purification plant worker, was in love with Hastapuram Mounika, who completed her intermediate recently. As the parents of the girl were against their marriage, they decided to elope and get married at Taapala Laxminarasimha Swamy temple in LMD area of Karimnagar.

The temple is known for helping lovers who elope get married, but only after the temple authorities ensure that both the partners are adults by checking valid documents. Not surprisingly, youngsters from many parts of the state and even other states come to the temple to get married.

When the parents of the girl came to know that Anil and Mounika were at the temple, waiting to get married, they came to the temple minutes before the marriage ceremony was to take place. They attacked Anil, slit his throat and hit him with boulders in front of his parents till he died.
