According to
Metro, the father is accused of cooking dinner for the 45-year-old married man last Friday, and then tying him up to a chair. Police say the father used heated tongs to burn the man's genitals.
The father is then accused of strangling the guy to death in a plot that he has been planning since his 14-year-old daughter was sexually abused a couple of months ago.
According to
NY Daily News, the father, who was identified as Vindon Kumar, told cops in New Delhi that he wanted justice for his daughter, who ended up pregnant as a result of the assault.
Kumar told police he burnt the guy's genitals once, and he screamed, and then he did it again. He said he didn't want to kill the man.
According to
CNN, Kumar is said to have laced the man's soft-drinks, which were served to the alleged rapist along with dinner.
Kumar is currently in jail awaiting trial, and he is being charged with murder. The next step is for police to file a charge sheet in court with evidence to support their case. Confessions are not admissible in court.
Police are still waiting for the results of the autopsy.
The dead man leaves behind a wife, a son and two daughters, while Kumar is married with two sons and four daughters.
