AK Singla, deputy commissioner of police (northeast), said the girl’s father, Sudesh Kumar, was arrested on Saturday after they identified that the motorcycle on which the girl was seen riding pillion in a couple of CCTV cameras belonged to him. The helmet matched with Kumar’s helmet that the police found in his home. “We first allowed the family to perform the last rites of the girl. Kumar was taken into custody and interrogated. He was confronted with the CCTV footage and other evidences we had collected against him during the probe. Kumar confessed to the crime after which we arrested him,” said Singla, adding Kumar runs a pastry shop.

Kumar then dumped the knife and his clothes with blood stains in the drain. “He returned home and then went to the police station with his family members to file his daughter’s missing complaint,” said the officer. -PTC News
