A father has beheaded his 17-year-old daughter in the Indian vilage of Pandetara, Uttar Pradesh because he did not approve of her boyfriend.
The crime was committed on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 while Sarvesh Kumar was alone at home with his daughter.
Kumar narrating how he murdered his daughter said “‘I did it. There was no one else. I closed the latch and did it. The body is in the room.”
In a video shared online, Kumar is seen carrying what is reported to be the severed head of his daughter while he heads to the police station to report the “honor killing”.
He admitted to beheading his daughter with a sharp object as he was unhappy with the relationship she was in, NDTV reports.
He also claimed that he would have killed her lover too if he was able to find him.
Kumar was arrested by police and taken into custody. His wife was also arrested for her alleged involvement in the crime.
Police found the body of his daughter at the family home and have sent it for a post-mortem examination.
An officer was suspended after he was pictured carrying the head ‘inappropriately’, according to local media reports.
