Surya Dalai and his two sons were arrested on charge of strangulating to death his 19-year-old daughter at Badapankala village under Polasara police station on Friday night as they were not happy with the girl's relation with some youths.

After committing the crime, the three had hanged her body in a tree on the backyard of their house to give a suicide angle to the incident, the police said. Dalai's wife, who was present in the house when the incident unfolded, had protested her husband's act.
