New Delhi: A property dealer from south Delhi killed his seven-year-old son by hitting him with a hammer on his head on Sunday. The victim, Arpit Singh, a class I student of Greenfield Public School, died instantly.
The accused, Bhupender Singh, 38, a resident of Sadarjung Enclave, was arrested while trying to flee the city. A case of murder has been filed. Even though the police refused to comment on the case, it seems like the attack was a result of a heated argument between Bhupender and his wife. Sources said the argument was over an extramarital affair and the manner in which Singh conducted himself in public.
Arpit's 11-year-old sister and his mother were not in the room when the incident took place. Singh also reportedly suffers from alcoholism. According to senior police officers, the couple had a bitter argument on Sunday after which Singh stomped back to his room.
"Around 1.30pm, he picked up a hammer and hit Arpit on his head. The boy dropped down dead immediately. He was rushed to AIIMS where he was declared dead," a police officer said. The police said the accused was later arrested while he was trying to flee the city. Singh's other family members are being questioned.
The murder weapon has been recovered from the spot and sent for forensic examination. A crime team, which reached the spot, has now decided to match the accused's fingerprints in order to prove his role in the murder.
