Looking at his daughter's 15x15 inch photograph, which has been placed on a table on one side of the house, he said despite several problems in their life, he was always hopeful about his family's future.
“But now I'm a broken man,” he said. His two sons are both studying.
He described his daughter as a bright and intelligent girl.
“She always stood first or second in class. She was very studious. She wanted to do master's in physiotherapy after clearing her bachelor in January,” he added.
Even while she was studying, she worked at a call centre during nights so that she could earn extra money for her studies, he added.
“Except her college fees, I only used to send her one or two thousand rupees whenever she demanded in her four-year physiotherapy course,” the father added.
Even while studying in school, she used to take tuitions.He blames himself for his daughter's fate.
“'Mere hi kisi galti ki saja meri beti ko mil gai' (‘My daughter had to meet this fate due to some fault of mine'),” he told IANS during the hour-long interaction.
