Man axes minor daughters over family feud

Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh): In a horrific incident, a man allegedly killed both his daughters on Thursday night.

Police say the accused, Yogesh Sharma, brutally murdered his daughters using an axe.

Sharma was caught trying to dispose the bodies of four-year-old Bharti and one-year-old Priyanshi in a drain.

While the motive behind the crime is unclear, police say relations within the family had been strained for a while. Rajesh's in-laws allege he routinely beat up his wife and wanted to re-marry.

SPRA Greater Noida, S K Verma said, "He was trying to dispose off the bodies in a drain but people saw him. We have arrested him and have recovered the axe used in the crime."
