Kalyani: A man was arrested for assaulting his four-year-old daughter by slamming her on to the ground before throwing her into a river following a domestic dispute in Nadia on Friday. Police later recovered the child's body from the Jalangi river at Mayakol in Dhubulia.
Sources said the discord between Buddha Ghosh and his wife allegedly stemmed from her extramarital relationship.
After returning home on Friday evening, Buddha was informed by his mother that his wife had gone to her father's residence in Samudragarh, Burdwan. He then told his daughter to get ready for a visit to her maternal uncle's home.
Locals alleged that Buddha took the girl outside, slammed her on to the ground and threw her into the Jalangi from a bridge. When questioned about her daughter's whereabouts, he claimed to have left her at her maternal uncle's home. However, it was found that they never went there.
During questioning by Dhubulia police, Buddha admitted to throwing his daughter into the river. Following his arrest, the child's body was recovered.
