He also attacked his son, who managed to run away. Hearing the boy’s cry for help, locals caught Kamlesh and handed him over to police.

Additional superintendent of police Sunil Singh said Kamlesh revealed during interrogation that his wife died three years ago. He claimed to be concerned about the future of his daughters and often used to think about how he would bring them up and take care of them for so long.

He reportedly found it inconvenient to look after the children, police said, resulting in the brutal attack.
