A man has been arrested in Rupaidiha for allegedly murdering his one-year-old son over suspicions that he was not the child's father, police reported on Saturday.

The arrest followed a complaint by the child's mother, who discovered the boy unconscious on Thursday. The baby was quickly taken to a hospital, but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

SHO Samsher Bahadur Singh of Rupaidiha Police Station said, 'The mother has accused her husband, Sujit, of the murder. The child's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.' The husband, Sujit, has been charged with murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and arrested. Preliminary investigations indicate Sujit doubted his wife's fidelity and believed the boy was not his child, leading to the tragic incident. The investigation continues.
