UP horror: Man throws two-year-old son from terrace after fight with wife; arrested
AGRA: A 30-year-old man allegedly killed his two-year-old son by throwing him from the terrace of a two-storey house after a dispute with his wife in Mainpuri's Chitawa village on Thursday.
The incident took place three days after the accused had brought his wife back from her maternal home, where she had gone to celebrate Raksha Bandhan.
Police said Raj Bahadur, a labourer, was taken into custody soon after the incident.
Preliminary probe suggests that he was on the terrace with his wife, Yamunawati, and their son, Lalit, when a heated argument broke out.
In a fit of rage, he allegedly lifted the child and hurled him down.
The boy was declared dead at the district hospital.
Deputy superintendent of police (Bhogaon) Rishi Kant Shukla said, "Officers reached the spot immediately after receiving information. While the child's family members alleged that the child was thrown from the roof, the initial medical examination found no visible external injuries.
