Vadodara Father Murder Case: Teen Daughter Detained, Two Youths Arrested After Three-Month Plot

Vadodara, December 21, 2025: Police in Vadodara have uncovered a chilling murder plot in which a teenage girl allegedly drugged her parents and watched as her male friend stabbed her father to death. The crime, planned over nearly three months, was carried out on Friday after two earlier failed attempts, officials from Vadodara rural police said on Saturday. The victim, a man in his mid-40s, was killed in the backyard of his home. His teenage daughter has been detained in connection with the case, while two adult men, including her close friend, have been arrested. Police said the motive behind the murder was the father’s strong opposition to his daughter’s relationship with one of the accused. According to investigators, tensions in the family had been building for months. The father had reportedly imposed strict restrictions on his daughter after objecting to her relationship. Police said he would often confine her to a room at night and closely monitor her movements. He had also filed a complaint under the POCSO Act against the youth involved, leading to the man’s arrest. The accused was recently released on bail, after which he allegedly reconnected with the girl. Police said the trio viewed the father as an obstacle and decided to eliminate him. The plan, which took shape over three months, involved sedating the parents and attacking the father when he was unable to resist. Investigators revealed that the girl allegedly mixed sedatives into the family’s dinner on Thursday night and waited until both parents became unresponsive. Once she was sure the sedatives had taken effect, the girl reportedly called her male friend around 2.30 am. He arrived at the house along with another accomplice. Police said the girl watched from a window as one of the men stabbed her father multiple times in the backyard, killing him on the spot. Vadodara district Superintendent of Police Sushil Agrawal said the crime was executed only after two failed attempts earlier in the week. In the first attempt, the girl allegedly mixed sedatives into food, but her mother threw it away due to its strange taste. In another attempt, when the accused asked her to confirm whether the sedatives had worked, the girl screamed to check her parents’ response, which alerted her mother and forced the group to abandon the plan. On Thursday night, however, the sedatives reportedly worked as intended. After the murder, the accused fled the scene. The crime came to light when the victim’s brother informed the police. Officers rushed to the house and found the body with multiple stab wounds. A murder case was registered based on the family’s complaint, and police quickly began investigating. Within hours, suspicion fell on the victim’s daughter. During questioning, police said details of the alleged conspiracy emerged, leading to the arrest of the two adult accused. On Saturday, a court in Vadodara remanded the two men to police custody for two days. The teenage girl has been placed under detention, and the Juvenile Justice Board will now assess whether she should be tried as an adult, as per legal provisions. Police said the case highlights deep family conflict and the extreme consequences of unresolved tensions. The investigation is ongoing, and officials said further details may emerge as questioning continues.
