NEW DELHI: A man was arrested in Rupaidiha for allegedly killing his one-year-old son over suspicions that he was not the child's father, police reported. The arrest followed a complaint by the man's wife, who found the child unconscious on Thursday; the child later succumbed during treatment at a hospital.
SHO of Rupaidiha Police Station Samsher Bahadur Singh stated, "The mother has accused her husband one Sujit for the murder. The body of the minor has been sent for post-mortem examination."
Following the complaint, the police filed an FIR under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code against Sujit and apprehended him on Friday.
