Gujarat: Angry with wife, man strangulates son

PALANPUR: A casual labourer killed his four-year-old son in a fit of rage in Aravalli district six days ago. The incident came to light on Wednesday when the boy’s grandfather spotted his body lying in a field in the village. The cops have begun search for the accused identified as Nainesh Ninama. Investigators also suspect that Ninama may have killed his child for some tantric ritual.
The police said that for the last seven years Ninama had been working as a casual labourer in Ahmedabad. Some days ago he visited his home at Antoli village in Meghraj taluka. According to the police, this was the third marriage of Ninama and he often quarrelled with his wife.
During his stay, he had a bitter fight with his wife on August 28. An angry Ninama strangled his son to death and then disposed his body in an open field. When the boy’s grandfather spotted the body on Wednesday, he rushed the child to the hospital but he was already dead. The police registered a complaint against Ninama on Thursday.
