Karnataka News: An 18-year-old girl was beaten and then strangled with a rope by her father when she refused to marry a man of his choice in Karnataka's Bidar.

The girl had eloped with a boy she loved, following which a complaint was lodged by her parents. They were found and handed over to their parents.

Later, both the girl and the boy ended their relationship. The girl's father also faced a lot of humiliation because of her affair.

On Friday, the victim's father tried to convince the girl to marry someone of his interest. But she refused saying she was not interested in marrying anyone.

When the incident happened, the victim's mother was not at home as she had gone to fetch water.

"We have registered a case of murder at Santhpur police station and arrested the accused father in connection with the incident," the officer added.
