Police in Rajasthan have arrested a man suspected of murdering his eight‑month‑old baby girl and staging a fake assault to implicate five family members.
Police in a Rajasthan district have taken a man into custody after forensic analysis indicated that his eight‑month‑old daughter was deliberately killed, not the victim of an external attack as initially claimed.
The father reported a violent assault on his home, alleging that unknown assailants had harmed the infant. However, investigators found inconsistencies in the injuries and discovered evidence pointing to tampering of the crime scene.
Further probing revealed that the suspect had named five relatives as perpetrators, apparently in an effort to divert attention from himself. All five kin have now been questioned by authorities as part of the ongoing investigation.
The case underscores growing concerns over familial violence and the need for meticulous forensic work in homicide probes across the state.
