Kanpur:

 In a shocking incident, a man hacked his teenaged daughter and her minor lover to death in a village near Kanpur, police said on Saturday.

The incident occurred in a village under the Ghatampur police circle of the district late Friday night, Circle Officer Pawan Gautam said.

The police have arrested the accused father, a truck driver by profession, he said, adding the axe with which the father hacked the two teenagers to death too has been recovered.

Mr Gautam said the 16-year-old girl had an affair with a 15-year-old boy of the same village and she had invited him to her home on Friday evening when her parents had gone to the neighbouring Banda district to attend a relative's marriage.

The two teenagers, however, were caught by the girl's uncle who locked them inside the house and informed his brother about this incident over the phone, the CO said.
