Migrant Worker Arrested in Kerala for Alleged Murder of Toddler StepsonPreviousNext

A 27-year-old migrant worker from Assam, Moheswar Chutia, was arrested in Perumbavoor, Kerala, for allegedly murdering his three-year-old stepson. The child was admitted to a hospital with serious head injuries, initially reported as a fall from the first floor. Suspicious injury marks and statements about repeated assaults led police to take the accused into custody. A postmortem confirmed death due to head injuries from assault. The accused faces murder charges and will be presented in court.
