Gandhinagar, March 13: In a village in the Morbi district that borders the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, a 13-month-old boy was thrown onto the road by his father following a furious argument between the couple. The 26-year-old father of the child, Asgar Manek, was taken into custody by the police and charged with murder. Case information indicates that Amina, Asgar's wife, had insisted on seeing her parents on Sunday, March 10.

When she told Asgar again that she was heading to her parent's house on Monday, he advised her not to depart immediately, which sparked a heated argument between the two. Infanticide in Karnataka: Father Kills Seven-Month-Old Daughter by Banging Her Against Wall for Crying in Dharwad.
