BIDAR: An 18-year-old girl, who was in a relationship, was killed by her father in a case of suspected honour killing, at Bargen thanda in Aurad taluk. The deceased was identified as Monika Mothiram Jadhav and the father is currently absconding.

Mothiram Jadhav had reportedly advised his daughter to stay away from relationships and had promised to find a suitable groom for her. However, Monika revealed about her relationship and insisted that she would marry her boyfriend. The father-daughter duo even had an argument over the issue.

Enraged over his daughter’s insistence, Mothiram Jadhav attacked his daughter with a wooden stick when no one was at home. Monika died on the spot due to excessive bleeding. Her mother Bhagubai has lodged a complaint with the Santhapur police who have taken up further investigation.
