An Indian man identified as Raj Kumar Kori, has been arrested by the police.
The man was arrested after he was accused of murdering his daughter and burying her body inside a room in his house.
Raj Kumar allegedly killed his daughter after he failed to bear the expenses of her medical treatment.
He was arrested by Kaiserbagh police on Tuesday.
According to Times of India, Raj Kumar Kori of Kaiserbagh was arrested when some residents tipped the police off that he was loitering around in the locality.
Raj Kumar confessed to his crime during interrogation. He reportedly said Nancy had been ill for the past few months.
He reportedly told police that since his wife was dead, it fell upon him to take care of the girl.
The police spokesman said Raj Kumar apparently got fed up of tending to Nancy.
"The girl was bed-ridden and had bed sores. For Raj Kumar it was getting difficult. He wasn't stable financially either," the officer said.
On the day of the crime, Nancy had demanded to be taken on an outing.
"He snubbed the victim and when she back-chatted, he choked her. When the girl died, he buried her inside the house and fled the scene," the police officer said.
