GUJRAT: A man allegedly strangled his wife and 15-year-old daughter to conceal incest at Ghanian village in Mandi Bahauddin on Friday.

Reports said the man first administered poison to his wife and daughter and then strangled them.

The woman’s father complained in the FIR that the suspect had been raping his daughter for quite some time and she had informed her mother about it.

However, when the mother raised the matter with her husband, he quarrelled with her and later on, in a bid to conceal his heinous crime, strangled both the women after administering them poison.

Police have registered a case against the suspect under section 302 of PPC and started investigation.

Officials collected the forensic evidence from the crime scene and shifted the dead bodies to the civil hospital for autopsy.
