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.
