Consumed by doubt over his wife’s fidelity, a 32-year-old Chembur resident stabbed his 12-year-old daughter multiple times with a sharp weapon on Wednesday night. Even as the child gets treated at Sion hospital, the man’s wife is terrified that he will return to kill their daughter.

Accused Kamlesh Solanki is a resident of Siddharth Nagar, Chembur. According to the police, the incident occurred around 9 pm when Kamlesh, his wife, Mamta, and their daughter were at home. Mamta was asleep and their daughter was feeling hungry. Kamlesh gave her a biscuit and later attacked her with a knife five times. The knife also slashed her hand.
