BHOPAL: A man allegedly killed his one-year-old daughter by banging her head on the floor.

Accused-Uttam Kumar, 30, a resident of Shivpuri district in Madhya Pradesh was arrested a few hours after the incident. Police said Uttam's in-laws also live in a nearby locality.

On Friday night, Uttam's wife reached home and found that his wife was not around. He went to his in-laws' place and found her asleep there. When he asked her to accompany him, back to his house, she refused.

This angered Uttam so much that he held his 10-month-old daughter Nandani, who was sleeping nearby, by her legs and banged the child's head on the floor twice.

The kid was critically injured and rushed to a primary health centre where she succumbed to the injuries.

Accused was arrested on charges of murder.
