Here's why father killed his daughter
Meghwal, according to the deceased's relatives, believed that his elder daughter, Nirma (32), who was married, was the cause of conflicts within the family, as reported to the police.
On Monday, Nirma came to Isali village in Pali to attend a wedding ceremony. During her visit, she met her father. He then requested both the victim and her younger sister to accompany him to a specific location, according to the complaint. He asked his younger daughter to wait while he took Nirma to an isolated location. There, he allegedly slit her throat and set her body on fire after pouring petrol, as mentioned in the complaint.
Upon Meghwal's return, when his other daughter noticed blood on his hands, she raised an alarm and called the villagers were who then alerted the police upon discovering Nirma's half-burnt body, the police said.
A case has been registered against the accused under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and efforts are on to nab him, they added.
