Hyderabad: A drunk watchman allegedly beat his three-year-old daughter Kirthi to death, hitting her and pressing her head against the wall. Police said P. Suresh killed the child after quarrelling with his wife. Suresh was angry with the child as she did not go to him when he called her.
“Kirthi was not very attached to him, which used to anger him. He used to quarrel with his wife claiming that the child was not his,” said Jubilee Hills inspector S. Venkat Reddy.
Suresh took out Kirthi out of their house and slapped her. “He pressed her face against the wall. The girl started bleeding from her nose and lost consciousness,” said the inspector.
Kirthi was malnourished and weak. She succumbed in a few minutes, the inspector said.
Suresh took the child to hospital where doctors declared her dead. Suresh tried to escape but was arrested.
Suresh had fallen in love and married Jyothi three years ago, when he was working in Dilsukhnagar. The baby was conceived before their marriage.
