A minor girl was killed in Antop Hill area of Mumbai by her relatives for not offering namaz. The cops arrested three women, including a minor, for the murder, NDTV reports. The girl was strangulated to death for not offering namaz during Friday prayers.
 

The girl was forced by the relatives to offer namaz during Friday prayers every week but she used to resist. Last week, when she refused again, the minor’s aunt strangled her with a dupatta. 
 

The relatives even tried to pass off the murder as a natural death and took the girl's body to Sion Hospital claiming that she slipped and fell in the bathroom, but the doctors got better of them and informed the local police after spotting injury marks on the victim's neck.
