Mumbai Man Arrested for Allegedly Killing Four-Year-Old Son Over Crying for MilkPreviousNext

In Mumbai's Powai area, Rajesh Prakash Singh, a 26-27-year-old unemployed man, was arrested for allegedly killing his four-year-old son, Yash, after the child repeatedly cried for milk. Yash, described as a special child with developmental issues, depended mainly on milk. Singh's wife had reportedly left the family about two weeks prior due to his alcoholism and inability to support them. Police said Singh confessed to the act after initially giving inconsistent statements. The child was declared dead at Rajawadi Hospital, and investigations continue.
