In Agra, a disturbing incident unfolded where a 30-year-old farmer was arrested for allegedly throwing his infant daughter into the Yamuna River. The farmer, identified as Rinku Kumar, reportedly acted on suspicions that his wife, Lakshmi Devi, was having an extramarital affair and questioned the paternity of their 11-month-old child, Vanshika.
According to police, Kumar took his wife and daughter to a bridge near their village under the pretense of taking photographs. He then allegedly pushed the baby into the river. When his wife raised an alarm, he reportedly attempted to push her into the water as well, but she managed to hold onto the railing and call for help.
Search operations are currently underway, with police and SDRF teams actively searching the Yamuna for the missing child. The couple, married in June 2024, had been living separately for several months due to marital discord. Lakshmi Devi's family has also alleged dowry harassment against Kumar and his family.
