UP man beheads 17-yr-old daughter over affair, walks with it in village

A man from a village in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district, beheaded his 17-year-old daughter on Wednesday morning and was seen calmly walking down the road with the severed head. According to the police, the accused was furious over his daughter's alleged relationship with a youth he did not like.

The accused was identified as Sarvesh Kumar. He beheaded his daughter with a sharp-edged weapon at Pandetara village and started walking calmly with the severed head, triggering panic in the area. The locals of the village who spotted Sarvesh with the head later called the police.

Two officers reached the spot immediately and started filming him. They ask him his name, where is from and whose head it was. Sarvesh replies without hesitation.

In the video, he admits to beheading his daughter with a sharp tool because he was unhappy with her relationship with a man. Sarvesh, in the video, can be heard as saying, "I did it. There was no one else. I closed the latch and did it. The body is in the room."

The police asked him to put the head down and sit by the road and once again he obliges without protest. They later brought him to the police station and arrested him.

"A person named Sarvesh killed his teenaged daughter and was spotted carrying her severed head on the road. We intercepted him as soon as we received information about it and have taken him into custody. We have also taken serious note of a photo which shows a police official carrying her head inappropriately. The cop has been suspended," Kapil Deo Singh, who is a police official posted in Hardoi, said.

"Sarvesh is a vegetable vendor. A few days ago, he spotted his daughter in a compromising position with a youth. He made up his mind to teach his daughter a lesson. Sarvesh’s wife has also testified this in her statement to the police," the SP said.

Panic gripped the area when Sarvesh walked down to Majhila police station, about 2km away from his village, holding the girl's chopped head in his hand, said the police.

Police said the girl, a student of Class 12, was the eldest among four children — three girls and a boy.
