A man has reportedly been arrested in India this week for allegedly beheading his 17-year-old daughter because he did not approve of the man she was apparently dating.
Residents of North Indian state Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district called police when they saw the man, identified as Sarvesh Kumar, walking on a road in the town carrying his daughter’s head, according to New Delhi Television ( NDTV).
Officers shot video of their interaction with Kumar, who they said said he locked the girl in her room and decapitated her with a sharp object, BBC News reports.
