A suicide note has also been recovered by the police in which the deceased girl blamed her father for her death.
Terming her husband a "demon", the girl's mother said he would sexually abuse her daughter after drinking alcohol. She further said that he would beat her if she tried to intervene. "I am ashamed of calling him my husband. He does not deserve to be a father," she was quoted as saying in a report.
