A furious father is facing murder charges after he treated his teenage daughter�s alleged rapist to dinner before torturing him to death. The man�s 14-year-old daughter was allegedly raped two months earlier by the 45-year-old married man. According to the Indian Express, the father invited the man to his home in northeast Delhi�s Khajuri Khas for his last meal before assaulting him. He reportedly strapped the alleged rapist to a chair, burned his genitals with heated tongs and strangled him. Police say the father turned himself in following the incident, giving a detailed statement of the elaborate torture methods he had carried out. �I burned his genitals once, he screamed. I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it the third time � he did not move. He was dead � I did not want to kill him,� the father reportedly told the police. �The father called the medicine supplier over to his house, saying he wanted to discuss some issue. He served him dinner,� an officer told the Indian Express. �After the meal, the father overpowered the man and tied him to a chair. He got heated tongs and burned the supplier�s genitals before strangling him to death. He came to the police station and surrendered himself.� Police allege the man had been planning the murder since his daughter told him about the incident the day it happened, but did not report it to police, fearing �a bad name for his daughter.�
