Bengaluru Man Arrested for Infant Daughter's Death; Murder Investigation UnderwayPreviousNext

In Bengaluru, police arrested a 22-year-old man for allegedly killing his 11-month-old daughter during a domestic quarrel, initially reported as an accidental fall from a cot. The post-mortem revealed multiple severe internal and external injuries inconsistent with a fall, leading to a murder investigation. The mother is absconding and under investigation. Witnesses and police reports indicate frequent disputes between the couple, with suspicions of the mother's alleged extramarital affair contributing to tensions. The case remains under investigation.
