Omkar Singh was allegedly outraged over his daughter’s alleged relations with several men.
“Omkar Singh told the police that his daughter Manju had relations with several men. He had asked her to mend her ways several times in the past. However, she did not pay heed. Out of pure rage, he chopped off her head with the sword,” said the officer.
