Gujarat Man Arrested for Killing Daughter Over Inter-Caste Relationship
In Gujarat's Anand district, Kaushalkumar Patel was arrested for allegedly strangling his 21-year-old daughter, Saniya, over her inter-caste relationship. The incident occurred on November 9 in Metpur village while family members were asleep. Patel opposed the relationship due to caste differences and the boyfriend's low income. Initially reported as suicide, a post-mortem confirmed strangulation. Patel confessed and was sent to judicial custody after the court rejected police remand. Saniya was a commerce graduate pursuing further studies.
