Mohali, May 6 -- A 46-year-old cab driver from Kharar was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by his 17-year-old daughter and her associate for opposing their marriage, police said on Tuesday. The duo allegedly dumped the victim's body in a canal. Both accused have been arrested, and search operations are on to recover the body.

Though the victim was allegedly killed on the night of May 1, his wife, who had gone to her brother's house, discovered he was missing only the following day. Initially, she tried to search for him on her own, but later learned from her younger children that her eldest daughter may have been involved.

The children told her that the 17-year-old had left with their father at night after complaining of a stomach ache....
