One simply cannot imagine any sane reason why a father would kill his own son, but then this incident that occurred in Bihar and the reason behind it will render you speechless. The 32-year-old man from Bihar’s Aurangabad district murdered his three-month-old son on Sunday as he thought the child was not his own because the baby ‘did not resemble’ him.
It was Raushan Lathore from Dhanaura village in Bihar who did this as he believed his wife, Kuldhan Devi was having an extramarital affair and the infant was not his biological child. While the baby was being fed, Lathore allegedly snatched the baby from his wife and killed him before assaulting his wife. The wife cried loudly which woke the neighbours up and they saved the wife from her husband. If they had not intervened, the wife too could have been killed. Lathore was thrashed by the those who rushed there.

Police soon came to the spot and arrested Lathore based on his wife’s complaint. Ever since his wife delivered the boy, Lathore was always found agitated and used to have constant altercations with his wife.
“Lathore refused to accept him as his biological son. He would also question the character of his wife and torture her on suspicion of bearing an illegitimate child,” said station house officer of the Tandwa police station, Sajid Hussain.
Of Bihar’s 10.41 crore population, 54,278,157 are male and 49,821,295 female, as per Census 2011. Its population sex ratio is less than the national average of 940 females per 1000 males.
