Two violent incidents were reported in Uttar Pradesh. In Lucknow, a man allegedly killed his minor daughter over suspicion of a relationship, disfigured her face with acid to conceal her identity, and disposed of her body in a canal; he and an accomplice were arrested after his confession. In Kaushambi, a 30-year-old man was beaten to death by his father-in-law and others over an eight-year-old marriage dispute. Police are investigating both cases and pursuing the accused in Kaushambi.
