In a gruesome incident, a father killed his 15-month-old daughter by hitting her against the road after he had a row with his wife at Gaganpahad in Shamshabad on Tuesday. The couple quarreled over wife’s going to her natal house.
Damoder fought with his wife Sulochana when she returned home on Monday night. He also allegedly beat her up. Upset over her husband’s behaviour, Sulochana with her two daughters went to her elder sister’s house in the same locality and stayed there for the night. On learning this, Damoder went there on Tuesday morning and again picked up a quarrel with her.
As Sulochana refused to come home, Damoder in a fit of rage caught hold of his elder daughter Akshaya (4), and hurled her into the air. Even as the girl fell on the road sustaining bleeding wounds on the nose, he lifted his younger daughter, Meenakshi, 15 months, and hit her against the road twice. She died on the spot after sustaining serious internal injuries.
