A six-year-old girl was allegedly strangled to death by her father in a village here, police said on Thursday.
According to SHO, Ladwa, Inspector Om Parkash, a murder case was registered on Thursday against Jasbir Singh, a resident of Dabkhera village, based on a complaint filed by his wife Harjinder Kaur.
Kaur alleged that Singh, who works as a daily wager at farms, killed his only child Sumit on Wednesday night.
She said her husband used to get irritated whenever she asked him to pay for their daughter's school fees.
The SHO said the motive of the murder is not yet clear and police are investigating the matter.
The accused is absconding. The body was sent to a government hospital here for post-mortem, the SHO said.
