Betul (MP) (PTI): A man allegedly killed his newborn son in an inebriated state in Madhya Pradesh's Betul district, as he was disappointed at not having a daughter, police said on Monday.
The accused said he had hoped to have a daughter as he already had two sons, an official said.
The incident occurred in Bajjarwada village under Kotwali police station limits on Sunday evening, he said.
Investigations revealed that the accused, Anil Uikey, was inebriated when he beat up his wife and snatched their 12-day-old son from her, Kotwali police station in-charge Ashish Singh Pawar said.
The woman fled the spot, as she was scared of being beaten up further, and when she returned home later, she found the baby dead inside their hut, he said.
There were strangulation marks on the baby's neck, the official said.
A first information report (FIR) was registered against Uikey under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and he was placed under arrest, he said.
On interrogation, the accused said that he already had two sons and had hoped to have a daughter when his third son was born, the official said.

Klaasen, Kishan power SRH to 33-run win, top spot
Hyderabad (PTI): Heinrich Klaasen (69) and Ishan Kishan (55) made Punjab Kings pay dearly for their sloppy fielding, powering Sunrisers Hyderabad to a handsome 41-run win to jump to the top of the table in the IPL, here on Wednesday.
The duo helped in setting a challenging total of 235 for 4 after Punjab Kings opted to bowl.
In reply, Punjab Kings were restricted to 202 for seven to succumb to their third loss on the trot and slipped to second spot.
Cooper Connolly waged a lone battle for PBKS with a brilliant 107 not out from 59 balls (7x4, 8x6) but lacked support from the other end.
For SRH, Pat Cummins (2/34) and Shivang Kumar (2/45) were the main wicket takers.
Earlier, dropped on nine, Klaasen capitalised to smash three fours and four sixes in his 43-ball knock.
Kishan, who survived two reprieves -- a dropped catch and a missed stumping -- struck a brisk 32-ball 55, including two fours and four sixes.
For Punjab Kings, Yuzvendra Chahal was the most economical, returning 1/32, but endured a frustrating outing as all the dropped chances and the missed stumping came off his bowling.
Brief Scores
Sunrisers Hyderabad 235 for 4 in 20 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 69, Ishan Kishan 55; Yuzvendra Chahal 1/32). Punjab Kings (Cooper Connolly 107 not out; Pat Cummins 2/34, Shivang Kumar 2/45). SRH won by 33 runs.
