Surat, November 30: In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old auto-rickshaw driver in Gujarat’s Surat was arrested for killing his 18-year-old daughter after she reportedly ignored household chores to play games on her mobile phone. The accused, Mukesh Parmar, attacked his daughter Hetali with a pressure cooker, inflicting fatal injuries on Thursday evening.

According to the police, the incident occurred at the family’s residence on Bharimata Road. Hetali’s mother, Geetaben Parmar, who works at a mall, had left for work earlier in the day, leaving her husband and children at home.
