The body of the woman, Shilpi Devi, was sent to the Medinirai Medical College and Hospital for post-mortem examination, they said.
Upendra was in an inebriated state at his house when Shilpi too returned drunk. Enraged, Upendra questioned her about returning home drunk, which led to an altercation, police said.
As the argument escalated, Upendra started hitting Shilpi, and suddenly lifted her and slammed her on the ground with force, they said.
The couple, who got married three years ago, has a child.
