A woman killed her four-year-old granddaughter in Rajasthan's Hanumangarh town because she was irked with the girl's stubborn and demanding nature, police said on Thursday.
The grandmother drowned the girl in a water tank on Wednesday, said police officer Vishnu Dutt Vishnoi.
Initially, it looked like an accident. But when police started the investigation, some startling facts came to light, Vishnoi said.
An FIR has been filed against the grandmother. She will be arrested after a post-mortem is conducted, he said.
