Drug addict strangles his 5-year-old crying daughter to death in Jalandhar

JALANDHAR: In a shocking incident in Jalandhar, Punjab, a father allegedly strangled his five-year-old daughter to death. The child's only fault was that she was crying continuously, and her father could not tolerate the sound. So, instead of comforting the child to stop the crying he assaulted her brutally, resulting in her death.

The accused allegedly first picked up the child and threw her on the ground. When she cried even louder due to shock and pain, he allegedly strangled her, killing her on the spot.

The shocking incident took place in Doordarshan Enclave in Jalandhar and police have arrested the accused father.

According to information received, the accused has been identified as Arvinder Singh, a daily wage labourer originally from Chhattisgarh, who currently lived in Doordarshan Enclave. The child's uncle, Himmat Kumar, filed a complaint, based on which the police took immediate action and arrested Arvinder.
