In a case of suspicious death of a seven-month-old child in Meerut, the child's father has accused his wife of murdering their son due to affair, officials said on Monday.
The local Mundali Police said they have launched an investigation into the matter.
The complainant, Amit, alleged that on May 30, in his absence, his seven-month-old son Rudransh died, and he was told that the child was ill. The family subsequently buried the child in the village crematorium, an official said.
According to the complainant, he later became suspicious of his wife and checked her mobile phone call details.
Amit claims that this revealed his wife's frequent contact with a young man. This led to a dispute between the two, after which his wife allegedly confessed to killing the child, the police said.
Amit has alleged that his wife strangled the child to death while he was alone at home and later misled family members and villagers by claiming the child had died of illness, it added.
Circle Officer Kithore Pramod Kumar Singh said that an investigation into the matter is underway based on the father's complaint.
