Father kills daughter, after making her enact suicide to frame wife and in-laws

In order to frame his wife and in-laws, a man killed his daughter, even as she believed that she was merely enacting a suicide, as requested by her father.  This happened in Nagpur last week.

According to the Nagpur police, a 40-year-old man, who wanted to get even with his second wife and her in-laws, asked his daughter to enact a suicide and write suicide notes blaming the relatives for it. Trusting her father, she did all that he said, but little did she know that the father had other plans.

After writing the suicide notes, the 16-year-old daughter hung herself from the ceiling fan in her house on November 6, as she did that, her father pushed the stool on which she stood, leading to her death by hanging.

Police initially registered a case of abetment to suicide against the girl’s stepmother, uncle, aunt and grandparents on the basis of five suicide notes found in the room, the official of Kalamna police station said.

However, when the police examined the father’s mobile phone it revealed there was a cruel plot behind what looked like a suicide. During investigation, police said that they found a photograph of the victim enacting a suicide bid in the mobile phone of her father.

“It came to light that he had asked his daughter to act as if she was hanging herself and clicked a photograph, claiming he wanted to teach his relatives a lesson,” the police official said.

“Before that the man had asked the girl to write five suicide notes naming these relatives. When the girl did so and tied the noose around her neck and stood on a stool as instructed by him, he clicked a photo and then allegedly kicked the stool, causing her death by hanging. She died in front of her father and 12-year-old sister,” the official said.

The police said that the father then left the house. He later called police, claiming he had stepped out for some work and upon return found his daughter had hanged herself, said the official.

 “After we came across the suicide enactment photo in his phone, we questioned the man and he told the police that he murdered his daughter. His first wife ended her life in 2016 and the second wife had also left home,” the official said.

The man was arrested on charges of murder. ​​​​​​​
