In a tragic incident in Beed district, Maharashtra, a man allegedly drowned his four-month-old son in a drum of water before ending his own life, police said on Saturday, according to report in NDTV.
The horrific incident took place in Talwada village, located in Georai taluka. According to officials, the accused, identified as Amol Sonavane, threw his infant son into a half-filled blue plastic drum, leading to the baby’s death.
