The couple’s second child, Diwakar’s fourth daughter, was born last month, the SSP added.
During an argument with his parents on Sunday, an inebriated Diwakar snatched the one-month-old girl from his wife’s lap and flung her to the ground, police said.
The infant was rushed to a hospital with severe injuries where she died on Wednesday, they added.
Based on a complaint lodged by his wife Deepu, a case has been registered against Diwakar under section 105 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the BNS, police said, and added that Bablu was sent to jail on Thursday.
