Man arrested for assaulting one-year-old son leading to death in Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): A man has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his one-year-old son, leading to the child’s death here, police said on Saturday.
The arrested person, Shijil, is a native of Kanjiramkulam in Neyyattinkara. He has been booked on charges of culpable homicide, police said.
The child, Ihan, son of Shijil and Krishnapriya, was rushed to a hospital on January 16, with the family claiming that he collapsed after eating biscuits.
However, the child was declared dead on arrival.
Suspecting foul play, hospital authorities informed the police.
Initially, the couple refused to disclose details, but the postmortem examination revealed that the death was caused by internal injuries to the abdominal region, police said.
Subsequently, police recorded the statements of Krishnapriya and her family members, during which information emerged that Shijil had assaulted the child, an officer said.
Shijil was taken into custody on Friday and during detailed interrogation, he confessed to the crime, police said.
According to police, the couple had marital discord and the accused suspected Krishnapriya’s fidelity and questioned the paternity of the child.
On the morning of January 16, Ihan woke up crying after wetting the bed, which angered Shijil.
Krishnapriya reportedly took Ihan to the toilet and brought him back to bed.
However, still agitated over his disturbed sleep, Shijil assaulted the child and returned to bed without attending to him, police said.
Police said the arrest has been recorded and the accused will be produced before the court for remand proceedings later.

Fired from family business, nephew breaks into uncle's shops in Delhi; arrested
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has arrested a 22-year-old man who allegedly stole cash, a laptop and a mobile phone from his uncle's shop in Dwarka to take revenge after he was fired from the family business, officials said on Wednesday.
Piyush Tulswani, the accused, completed his Class 11 from Rajasthan's Pilani, after which he came back to live with his family, a senior police officer said.
His father, Kishan Tulswani, used to work as a sales manager at his uncle Jeetu's confectionery shops. After the death of his father, Piyush took up his position, the officer said.
Soon, Piyush started embezzling money from the shops, and was fired after Jeetu took note of the act, police said.
His mother also reprimanded him for embezzling money, after which Piyush left home and started living with his friend, the officer said.
Piyush hatched a plot to steal money from his uncle’s shops, which he knew well. Acting on his plan, he took his brother's scooter and broke open each shop, stealing cash, a laptop and a mobile phone.
On January 31, Jeetu reported the matter to police, accusing Piyush of committing burglaries at his shops located in Sector-18, Sector-11, Sector-12 and Sector-4, Dwarka, the officer said.
Jeetu also provided CCTV camera footage from the shops, in which Piyush could be seen breaking them open, he said.
Tracing his mobile phone locations to Safdarjang, Hauz Khas, Rajapuri and Dabri, police conducted several raids.
“He later switched off his phone to restrict access to his location,” the officer said.
On February 13, police received information that Piyush would come to the fruit mandi in Dabri around 9.30 am. Accordingly, a trap was laid, leading to the arrest of the accused, he said.
Initially, he did not confess to the crime, but when police showed him the CCTV clips, he admitted to committing the burglaries, the officer said.
