New Delhi, July 21 (IANS) A 45-year-old man in the national capital attacked his wife and three daughters with a broken windowpane, resulting in the death of one of his daughters, an official said on Thursday.

On reaching the hospital, the police found that four persons (mother and three daughters) were admitted there by some relatives.

“On inquiry, it emerged that at about 7.15 a.m. on Thursday, Bhim Sen had a quarrel with his wife during which he attacked her with a broken piece of windowpane. Hearing their mother’s cries, the daughters intervened to save her, but the accused attacked them as well,” Kashyap said.
