A man who was upset with his daughter’s lifestyle decapitated her with a sword and paraded her severed head through his village.Family members of a hooch victim mourn in front of the dead body in front of their residence in Roshannagar in Devarajeevanahalli in Bangalore which had killed 18 people.Marble miner Ogad Singh was angered by a series of affairs his 20-year-old daughter Manju Kunwar had recently had and became enraged when she eloped with a man two weeks ago.Manju had been living with her parents in the Rajasthani village of Dungarji after leaving her husband two years ago.Police Superintendent Umesh Ojha said Singh forced her to return home from her new husband on Sunday and beheaded her the following day, before surrendering to the authorities.Kunwar's mother, a farmer, was working in the fields at the time and was too distressed to comment.The 20-year-old's head and the rest of her body were cremated according to Hindu tradition, police said.The horrific incident is the latest example of the social clashes faced by a rapidly modernising India, as young people resist traditional arranged marriages and rules dictating women's behaviour.Earlier this month, India topped a poll as the worst place to be a woman in the top 19 economies in the world.The Thomas Reuters Foundation cited abuse, killings and discrimination on a scale unparalleled in the other nations.
