Delhi Man Arrested for Killing 10-Month-Old Daughter, Faking Kidnapping Claim
In Delhi's Bhalswa Dairy area, a 25-year-old man named Deepak was arrested for killing his 10-month-old daughter due to financial stress over raising a second girl child. He initially reported her kidnapping while stepping out to buy milk and biscuits on May 24. Police launched a large-scale search and reviewed CCTV footage, which contradicted his account. Under interrogation, Deepak confessed to strangling the infant and hiding her body in a septic tank at his home. The case highlights issues of financial hardship and child welfare.
