contents We study the phenomenology of a vector dark matter (VDM) in a $U(1)_X$ gauged extension of the Standard Model (SM) which is connected to the type II seesaw framework via the Higgs portal. When this $U(1)_X$ symmetry is spontaneously broken by the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of a complex scalar singlet, the gauge boson $Z^\prime$ becomes massive. The stability of the dark matter (DM) is ensured by the introduction of an exact charge conjugation symmetry. On the other hand, the $SU(2)_L$ triplet scalar generates light neutrino masses through the type II seesaw mechanism. We have studied the phenomenology of the usual WIMP DM considering all possible theoretical and experimental constraints that are applicable. Due to the presence of triplet scalar, our scenario can accommodate the observed $2σ$ deviation in $h \to Z γ$ decay. We have also briefly discussed the possibility of non-thermal production of DM from the decay of the same complex scalar that is responsible for the breaking of this $U(1)_X$ symmetry.
