From Faridabad, a very shameful act has come to light, here the policemen have detained a 22-year-old man for the alleged murder of an 18-month-old toddler by drowning him in a water tanker.

Two days before the crime, the accused grabbed Rs 50 from the complainant's eight-year-old daughter, because of which the two men got into another fight," said Sube Singh, PRO of Faridabad Police told media.

"The accused held a grudge against the complainant because of this and, on February 5, when he spotted his 18-month-old son playing alone, he picked up the child and took him to his flat. Later on, he took him up to the roof of the house and drowned him in the water tanker. He then closed the tanker with a wire so that his crime would not be discovered," he told the national daily.
