Police in the northern India state of Rajasthan say that a man showed up at a police outpost holding a bloody human head in one hand and a sword in another

The head was that of the man's daughter, chopped off because of her "indecent behavior." The man, Oghad Singh, had paraded the head through the village on his way to the police station. Singh's daughter, Manju Kunwar, was in her 20s and was living with her parents after divorcing her husband. Her father accused her of acting indecently with other men. The beheading happened in Dengar Ka Guda, a village in Rajsamand District about 250 miles from Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan. Kunwar's head and the rest of her body were cremated according to Hindu tradition, police said. In India, women still suffer the consequences of long-held traditions that govern their behavior in Indian society. India has topped the Thomas Reuters Foundation poll as the worst place to be a woman among the top 19 economies in the world. The foundation cited abuse, killings and discrimination on a scale unparalleled in the other developed nations.
