The Miryalaguda honour killing refers to the murder of Pranay Kumar, a 23-year-old Indian man from the marginalized Dalit community, who had married a woman outside his caste. Kumar was murdered on 14 September 2018 in Miryalaguda, Telangana, India, in front of his 23-year old wife, Amrutha Varshini, who was five months pregnant. The killer reportedly had a contract for ₹10,000,000 (US$140,000), paid for by Varshini's father and uncle.
Thousands attended Kumar's funeral following his murder. A justice website was created, and a candlelight vigil was announced with support from the members of the Telugu film industry.
