Police said that Sahu was upset with the girl child and never expressed love for her. The incident took place when the little girl was sitting with her grandmother on the roof top, where construction work was going on.
Sahu came home after work and to check the ongoing construction work, he went to terrace. But his daughter came running towards him and miffed with distraction, he took the hammer lying on floor and hit on the girl's head in front of labourers.
Leaving his daughter in a pool of blood, Sahu rushed back and locked himself in the room. The girl was rushed to hospital by labourers and grandmother where she succumbed to injuries. While girl's mother went in shock and was unable to react to the situation, Sahu started acting insane and abnormal to mislead police after arrest.
