KANPUR: In a suspected case of honour killing, a retired IAF personnel shot dead his 17-year-old daughter in

Police said the accused, Udayveer Yadav, a resident of Sainik Colony, pumped two bullets into his daughter Soni's head.

"The accused confessed that he killed his daughter Soni for honour. He had shot her twice from a close range," said ASP (Etawah) Ram Yash.
