Chaube first reported his daughter missing, but his story did not add up.
Investigators found that he and Mannan had taken her away under the excuse of seeking occult treatment.
During questioning, Chaube admitted to strangling his daughter and trying to hide her identity with acid before leaving her body near a canal.
Police are still looking into whether anyone else was involved.
