A man has been arrested for killing his minor daughter in a village in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun in a suspected case of honour killing, police said on Monday.
A country-made pistol used in the commission of the crime was recovered from his possession, they said.
The 17-year-old girl was shot dead by her father on Friday around 4 am in the village in the Bilsi area, they added.
"The girl was in love with a youth of the same village," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sankalp Sharma said.
Their neighbours told police that the victim's parents did not approve of her relationship with the boy.
