Stepfather Arrested for Murder of Three-Year-Old Boy in FaridabadPreviousNext

In Faridabad, a three-year-old boy named Aditya was found dead with a slit throat at his maternal grandparents' home on June 21. The victim's stepfather, 23-year-old Sushant, who married Aditya's mother Sudha a year ago, was arrested by the Crime Branch after confessing to the murder. Police investigations revealed ongoing conflicts between the couple, partly due to Sudha's frequent visits to her son's grandparents. The child's body was sent for post-mortem examination, and further questioning of the accused is ongoing.
