A 27-year-old man was allegedly hacked to death by his wife's relatives in Kerala's Palakkad district on Friday. Two persons including the victim's father-in-law have been taken into police custody.
According to the police Aneesh, the victim was in a relationship with a girl from a wealthy family but due to their financial status, the woman's family had resisted the relationship.

The police said that Aneesh was going on a bike when they were attacked by his father-in-law Prabhu Kumar and the woman's uncle Suresh. Aneesh died on his way to the hospital.
Police have taken both accused into custody after eye witness named them.
