Faridabad, Jan 24: A routine homeschooling session ended in tragedy in Faridabad when a man allegedly beat his four-year-old daughter to death after she failed to write numbers up to 50, police said on Friday.

The accused, Krishna Jaiswal (31), was arrested following a complaint at Sector 58 police station. He was produced before a city court and sent on a one-day police remand. Jaiswal, a native of Kheratiya village in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district, was living in a rented house in Faridabad with his family.

Police said both Jaiswal and his wife worked in private companies. While the mother went to work, Jaiswal stayed home to care for the children and supervise his daughter’s studies.

The incident occurred on January 21, when Jaiswal allegedly asked his daughter to write numbers from one to 50. Unable to complete the exercise, he reportedly lost his temper and assaulted her, causing fatal injuries.

The case came to light when the mother returned from work and found her daughter dead at home. She immediately alerted the police, who reached the scene and took custody of the body.

“A case has been registered, and the accused has been taken on police remand for further investigation. After the postmortem, the body was handed over to the family,” said a Faridabad Police spokesperson.
