A Shocking British-Indian True Crime Case | How Family “Honour” Led to a Cold-Blooded Killing

This video unravels the true story of Surjit Athwal, the young British-Indian woman whose life ended in a shocking honour killing. In 1998, Surjit was lured from London to India under the guise of a family wedding—only to be murdered in a cold-blooded plan hatched by her own mother-in-law and husband.

We dive deep into:
🔹 Surjit’s marriage into a conservative family and her struggle for independence
🔹 The chilling conspiracy that led to her being taken to Punjab and killed
🔹 The decade-long investigation by the UK Metropolitan Police, the eventual trial, and the rare conviction of both mother-in-law and husband for honour-based violence
🔹 The landmark verdict that exposed the hidden world of honour-based abuse within British South Asian communities

This case is more than a crime story—it’s a powerful reminder of how patriarchal control, family reputation and toxic honour culture can cost lives, and why awareness and justice are so important.
