Muzaffarnagar,

27 Feb (HS): A man has been arrested, produced on court and subsequently sent

to jail on Friday for allegedly providing sleeping drugs to a 55-year-old

father of two girls before he was stabbed to death, police said Friday. The

culprit, named as Roki, is suspected of supplying sleeping drugs to Ram Prasad

of Morna village before he was stabbed on February 23 by his two daughters,

according to police.

Aditya

Bansal, Superintendent of Police (Rural), informed reporters that they think

Roki was in a relationship with Ram Prasad's 16-year-old daughter. During the

inquiry, Roki was determined to be complicit in the murder by giving sleeping

drugs used before to the crime. According to Bansal, he admitted to providing

the drugs.

Ram

Prasad was reportedly stabbed by his daughters, Komal (32), and the minor,

according to Bansal. The crime was probably motivated by his opposition to the

underage daughter's relationship with Roki, as well as the limitations he put

on both daughters. Police say Roki was apprehended on Thursday night.
