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.
In a three page letter written on November 8, Tewari said, "I am requesting Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to kindly ensure 50 per cent reservation granted to Mazhabi Sikhs & Balmikis out of 22.5 per cent way back in 1975, is upheld when matter comes up before a 7 or 9-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court when constituted shortly."
