Police in Bengaluru arrest a man accused of killing his 11-month-old daughter and initially presenting the death as an accident. According to multiple reports, the father, Shekhappa, tells authorities that the infant fell from a bed and died, saying his wife Vijayalakshmi had fallen asleep at the time. However, investigators say early accounts of the death do not match the injuries found during the examination of the child. A post-mortem is reported to show multiple injuries and internal damage inconsistent with a fall from a cot or bed, including findings linked to respiratory failure. Police allege the death was the result of deliberate violence following a dispute within the family, including reports of a fight between Shekhappa and his wife. The father is arrested by police in Avalahalli, while his wife is reported to be absconding. Investigations are ongoing as authorities gather details about the circumstances leading to the child’s death and whether other individuals were involved.
