Pune: According to a police official on Friday, a man was taken into custody in Solapur, Maharashtra, for allegedly killing his 14-year-old son with a drink laced with sodium nitrate out of frustration and rage over his actions.
According to Inspector Ajay Jagtap of the Jodhavi police station, accused Vijay Battu (43), was upset because the school had been complaining about Vishal Battu on a regular basis. Other problems included the victim viewing explicit content on his phone, skipping class, and getting into fights with his sister.
“On January 13, Vijay and his wife Kirti lodged a missing person complaint after Vishal did not return home. His body was discovered on the same day by the road near Tuljapur Naka, after which an accidental death case was registered.” “However, we sensed some foul play. His father Vijay’s behaviour was also suspicious. He was taken in for questioning, during which he confessed to giving his son a cold drink laced with sodium nitrate and then abandoning the body near Tuljapur Naka,” the official said.
According to Senior Inspector Rajendra Karankot, Vijay Battu was taken into custody on January 29 and is currently being held in police custody.
