According to the 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, he beat her up and murdered her using a sharp-edged weapon, PTI reported.
He left his daughter’s body at a railway crossing, some 500 metres from his house.
“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 official told The Indian Express.
