Mumbai, February 1: A Solapur man has been arrested for killing his 14-year-old son by poisoning him with sodium nitrate, a chemical used in explosives and fertilisers, for watching porn films. The man, identified as Vijay Battu, a tailor by profession, was unhappy with his son’s addiction to adult films and his poor performance in school. He decided to end his son’s life by offering him a soft drink laced with poison and dumping his body in a drain near their home.
According to India Today, the shocking incident came to light after the police found the boy’s body in a decomposed state in the drain. The post-mortem report confirmed that the boy had died of sodium nitrate poisoning. The police then traced the boy’s father, who had filed a missing person’s complaint for his son on January 13, the same day he killed him.
