Bareilly (UP), May 9 (IANS) In a shocking incident, a man strangulated his three-year-old son in a fit of rage and dumped him in the forest, thinking him to be dead.
A woman from a neighbouring village later found the boy and took him home.
According to the SHO of Cantonment police station, Rajeev Singh, Ram Lakhan's wife informed the police that her husband had confessed to killing their son following a fight with her. A police team went looking for the 'body' but could not find the child.
Later, the police were tipped that a woman form the neighbouring village had found an abandoned boy. The police went to her house, identified the boy and handed him over to his mother.
Ram Lakhan has been booked under IPC Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) and taken into custody.
According to Swaminathan, B.1.617 variant of Covid-19, which was first detected in India last Fall, was a contributing factor in the COVID explosion that India is witnessing right now.
He said that the "endgame" in fighting the pandemic is vaccinating everyone. At the same time, he said that all of India should "shut down", as some states have done.
There is desparate struggle for oxygen and there is a major shortage of hospital beds. Crematoriums and morgues are packed and can't keep up with the constant flow of corpses coming in.
Social media is flooded with desparate pleas from people for oxygen for their loved ones while others have no option but to circle hospitals in the capital Delhi while begging for a bed.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management committee & National Spokesman of the Akali Dal shared a celebratory tweet on Sidhu's release along with pictures and video on Instagram.
