The victim, a student of class XI, was stabbed by her father, Balwinder Singh, when she returned home from school late Friday evening after he suspected her of having a relationship, they said.
She died yesterday while being shifted to a hospital in Chandigarh from Chamkaur Sahib, police said.
On Friday, the accused, a resident of Chamkaur Sahib, had questioned the victim over her coming home late and asked her to accompany him to the local theme park.
In a fit of rage, Singh took out a knife and stabbed her several times before fleeing from the scene, they said.
