Chandigarh (PTI): The live-in partner of a woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her five-year-old daughter in a fit of rage in Haryana's Rewari district, police said on Sunday.

The accused Roshan, who hailed from Bihar, has been charged with murder, a police officer from Rewari said over the phone.

According to the officer, Roshan has been living in a rented accommodation with the married woman and her daughter. On Wednesday, the accused and the woman had a fight when they were out of the house. Following this, the woman headed to the railway station, while Roshan went home.

The woman's five-year-old daughter was in the house at the time. The girl cried for her mother and asked Roshan to take her to her mother. When he did not pay attention, the child continued crying. In a fit of anger, the man knocked the child to the floor, resulting in her death, the officer said.

The accused fled the house immediately after the incident, he said.

Neighbours informed the police, which formed teams and subsequently arrested the accused, he added.

Kandla (Gujarat) (PTI): A vessel carrying 20,000 metric tonnes of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) arrived at Deendayal Port Authority in Kandla in Gujarat after crossing the Strait of Hormuz amid the West Asia crisis, officials said on Sunday.

The Marshall Islands-flagged MV SYMI started its journey from Qatar and docked at the port in Kandla around 11.30 pm on Saturday after crossing the Strait of Hormuz on May 13, they added.

Since early March, 13 India-flagged vessels, comprising 12 LPG tankers and one crude oil tanker, have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway close to the coast of Oman through which roughly one-fifth of the world's energy supplies pass.

It has been severely disrupted by the conflict in West Asia that started on February 28, with the US and Israel launching joint attacks on Iran, triggering retaliatory strikes. It has resulted in one of the worst energy crisis the world has seen in recent decades.

Incidentally, at a special meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UNECOSOC) on safeguarding energy and supply flows, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Parvathaneni Harish said targeting commercial shipping, endangering civilian crew and impeding freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is "unacceptable".

On May 13, an India-flagged commercial vessel came under attack off the coast of Oman.

Omani authorities rescued all 14 crew members of the vessel sailing from Somalia, but it was not immediately known who carried out the strike.
