A man in India was arrested last week for torturing the man who raped his daughter. 

The man, a 36-year-old who lives in Dehli, reportedly confessed to using iron tongs to burn the man's genitals, then eventually strangling him to death. According to the Indian Express, the man told police that he invited his daughter's rapist—a 45-year-old married man who lived in the same building—over for dinner on Friday night: 

The father called the medicine supplier over to his house saying he wanted to discuss some issue. He served him dinner. 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.

Furthermore, he explained to police that the man raped his daughter two months ago, and threatened further harm if she told anyone. He added that he didn't report the crime to police because he didn't want to shame his daughter, revealing that "always planned" to murder her rapist. 

He currently faces murder charges.
