Ambabhona: In a case of filicide, a man allegedly killed his two-year-old daughter following an altercation with wife in Odisha’s Bargarh district today. The man, Ramesh Satnami from Kapasira village under Ambabhona police limits in Bargarh district was arrested on basis of a complaint lodged at the Ambabhona police station.
Ramesh and wife Jashoda had been fighting over some family issues for past few days. Jashoda’s mother visited Jashoda’s house in Kapasira village in recent past to resolve the issues between the couple with the help of village elders. But the intervention of Jashoda’s mother did not find a solution between the couple.
Today Jashoda’s mother asked her to leave Ramesh’s house after the couple engaged in a fight again. Jashoda took her two-year-old daughter, Shradddha in her arms and tried to leave the house. But Ramesh waylaid Jashoda and snatched the baby from her. The man then threw the baby daughter to the ground, following which she died.
Jashoda’s relatives, who were present during the incident, dragged Ramesh out of his house and thrashed him.
After receiving information, the police reached the spot and sent the body for post mortem.
A police official said a case was registered at the Ambabhona police station in connection with the incident and the man has been arrested.
