Here's what really happened
The incident happened on Saturday night when the accused - Sanjay Kute - was going through his six-year old daughter Bharati's homework.
At one point when she couldn't recite her alphabets, an enraged Kute thrashed her and then forced her to swallow an onion as punishment.
The girl choked on the onion and was unable to breathe, and a short while later suffocated to death, while her horrified mother and two-year old brother looked on, Rathore said.
Father tried to dump the daughter's body
