Centripetal force and torque seem to be very similar to each other because they both are related to circular motion,but in actual there's a big difference....
In actual if there is centripetal force then there is no torque because angle between radius and centripetal force is 0* and sin0* is zero.
Torque = (force)(radius)sin0* = 0
Centripetal force is to keep an object in circular path rather than in circular motion.This force tries to keep the object directed towards center,so this force is towards center whereas torque is exerted on the object to be rotated and it can be at any angle.
