A tragic case has emerged in Pune, where an IIT Bangalore graduate has confessed to killing his 3-year-old son, allegedly driven by suspicions about his wife’s character.

The accused, Madhav Teketi, was an engineer in a multinational firm and resided with his wife, Swaroopa Teketi, who was also an engineer, and son, Himmat, in Chandannagar, said Pune Police. The couple used to have frequent fights, which could have led to the horrific crime, officials said.

The matter surfaced on Thursday after Swaroopa Teketi complained at the Chandannagar Police Station that her son had been missing since about 12:30 p.m. when he was with his father.

A case under Section 137(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was then registered by the police and they initiated an inquiry.

CCTV evidence at the residential complex of the couple presented a crucial clue—Madhav was found to have exited the compound along with his son but came back by himself. This brought his role under grave suspicion.
