Nothing here is touched up.

At this point one assumes he&#8217;s given up.<\/p>\n<p>But no! He fights on heroically.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Comrade<\/strong>: Please provide evidence where a Khap panchayat has ordered killing of  the couple who marry within the same gotra?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Me<\/strong>: Why don\u2019t you just  google this?<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"commentbody-15006\">\n<p>Anyway, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/Khap-panchayat-orders-to-kill-lovers\/Article1-547553.aspx\">here\u2019s one link for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EloTPtNzNnI\">here\u2019s a  video<\/a> as a bonus!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div id=\"commentbody-15007\">\n<p><strong>Comrade<\/strong>: From the link you  gave,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice are deployed in Bajehda village here after a khap  panchayat allegedly ordered to kill a couple\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key word: allegedly.<\/p>\n<p>If  you don\u2019t understand this, please look up the meaning of this word  \u201callegedly\u201d in a dictionary.

I am asking for one  teensy weensy evidence of a Khap panchayat ordering killing of the  couple who marry within the same gotra? Newspaper headlines and views of  individuals(like Om Prakash Malik) who we are not even certain are  members of a Khap do not count as evidence. This is one of the most  pathetic yet laughable replies I\u2019ve ever encountered.<\/p>\n<p>Again, one  evidence, please?
