Bengaluru: In a shocking incident, a 29-day-old baby, one of the two male twins was allegedly killed by one of his family members on Friday, December 22 night. 

The baby was found murdered and hidden under an iron cot along with toys and the post-mortem report has established that the boy died as a result of strangulation. After the incident came to light the police detained three family members of the deceased baby for further interrogation.

The detained have been identified as C Karthik, 35 (father), Aravind 32, (uncle) and Chittar Raj, 64 (grandfather). 

The incident took place on Friday, December 21 one of the twins was not well. So they left the other twin with Karthik’s mother in the same building and took the sick twin to the doctor. After returning home Stella left the sick infant in the drawing room and took the other twin to the bedroom for breastfeeding. Karthik who returned after getting the medicines noticed that the sick infant who was in the hall had gone missing. 

They searched for the baby everywhere and they found the baby unconscious with a cloth around the neck, under a cot in the bedroom. The baby was rushed to the Bowring Hospital, but, the child was declared brought dead.

The police suspected that the infant was killed over a family dispute.

Initially, the police suspected Karthik but he turned up and filed a complaint against his father Chittar Raj, a retired army man and his brother Aravind. 

In his complaint, Karthik informed that despite opposition from his family he had married Stella in February this year. The family opposed their marriage because Stella was from a different religion. 

Later, when they had arguments over the issue, Karthik converted to his wife’s religion and this had forced the couple to live separately in their Neelasandra house. Stella, on November 22, gave birth to twins.

As there is confusion in the complaint filed by Karthik,  he is being questioned, informed sources.
