The incident occurred last night in Konkanvanipally village under Atmakur police station limits, Circle Inspector D Kishen said.
Accused Nagaraj, a labourer, who was in an "inebriated condition" at the time of the incident, had a heated argument with his wife and vented his anger by snatching their daughter from her, the police officer said.
"Nagaraj caught hold of the girl's legs and allegedly hit her against a big stone resulting in her death before fleeing from the spot," Kishen said based on a complaint lodged by his wife.
