Badaun (UP), Jan 2 In a shocking case of honour killing in Badaun district, a man Mahesh, hacked his daughter and her boyfriend to death on Tuesday morning. Mahesh then went to the nearby police station and surrendered.

According to reports, 20-year-old Sachin had come to meet his girlfriend on her invitation. The two had been in a relationship for almost two years, much against the wishes of the girl’s family.
