Punjab man kills daughter, ties body to bike, drags it before dumping
According to police, the girl had stepped out of the house and when she returned, the man killed her using sharp weapons.
A man hacked his daughter to death, tied her body to a bike, and dragged it on the road before dumping it on railway tracks in Punjab's Amritsar district, police said. The man, now arrested, killed his 20-year-old daughter for spending a day away from home, police told news agency PTI.
The accused has been identified as Bau, a Nihang Sikh, who works as a labourer. The incident happened on Thursday and CCTV footage of the crime has also emerged.
A preliminary probe revealed that the accused killed his daughter as he doubted her character.
According to police, Bau's daughter left home on Wednesday without informing anyone in the family and returned on Thursday. Bau was angry at his daughter over this and when she returned home, he beat her up and murdered her using a sharp-edged weapon, a police official told PTI.
"We also received information that the accused confined his family members at home and threatened to kill them as well. Due to fear, they couldn’t leave the house," a police officer told India Today.
"My granddaughter had left home and she came back on her own. When she returned, her father fumed and he killed her," the victim's grandmother said.
Police filed a case against the man on murder charges and arrested him.
