In a suspected case of dishonour killing, a 20-year-old woman was allegedly strangulated by her father for having a romantic relationship with a man, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place in Shyamli Shyamla village under the Jhinjhana area on September 9.
"The woman Himani's (20) father Pramod Kumar has been arrested on Sunday in this connection and he has confessed to his crime which he committed as he felt that his daughter has tarnished the name of his family," Superintendent of Police (SP), Kumar Abhishek said.
