In a horrifying case, a 48-year-old man has been arrested for brutally killing his daughter when she was sleeping at her home on Saturday morning. This incident took place in Maharashtra's Vihar city.

The accused has been identified as Dattaram Chamaram Joshi, 48, who was a purchase manager in a Dadar-based company. He has currently been arrested and in police custody. While the deceased has been identified as Akanksha, who lived with her 22-year-old elder brother and parents at Tirupati Nagar.  

The main reason behind this brutal murder is not yet known. Also, the accused is showing no signs of remorse nor he is cooperating with the police. This incident came to light after the police were informed by the neighbours who heard a loud noise and scream at Joshi's flat.

During search at the residence, the police have recovered the bloodstained hammer lying next to Akanksha's body. Her skull has been badly smashed due to the impact of the hammer. 

"The girl was a final year student in Viva College. He has been repeatedly saying 'I have killed my daughter' and nothing else. The mother and brother of the deceased are under deep shock since the incident, we are yet to examine them," said Renuka Bagde, Sub Divisional Police Officer (Virar).
