In a shocking and gruesome incident, a man in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district beheaded his 17-year-old daughter on Wednesday morning and also tried to reach the nearby police station with the severed head. According to the police, the man took the grisly step after he caught his daughter in an objectional position with a man. The accused, identified as Sarvesh Kumar, beheaded his daughter with a sharp-edged weapon at Pandetara village and started walking calmly with the severed head triggering panic in the area. The locals of the village who spotted Sarvesh with the head later called the police.

Two police officers reached the spot immediately and started filming Sarvesh Kumar with the severed head. They also asked him his name and whose head it was.

Sarvesh, in the video, can be heard as saying: "I did it. There was no one else. I closed the latch and did it. The body is in the room". The police officers later asked him to put the severed head of his 17-year-old daughter down and sit by the roadside. Sarvesh did what he was asked without any hesitation. The police officials later brought him to the police station and arrested him. Senior Police Official of Hardoi district, Anurag Vats, as quoted by NDTV said that the police will be filing charges against Sarvesh soon.
