Police arrested Ramprasad Das on Wednesday who confessed to have committed the crime
RAJKOT: In a macabre incident, a three-year-old boy was brutally stabbed to death by his brother-in-law (sister's husband) near Bhavnagar on Wednesday.
Police arrested the accused, Ramprasad Das (22), for the crime. The family of six including the couple, the woman's parents and her two younger siblings had migrated from Bihar about five months ago for labour work.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Ramprasad used to often pick up quarrels with his 19-year-old pregnant wife Pinky and beat her.

On Tuesday night, his father-in-law Shivnathram reprimanded Ramprasad and warned him against resorting to domestic violence. According to police, Ramprasad got furious over being pulled up and threatened that he would kill one of the family members and spend his life 'leisurely' in jail.
On Wednesday, the boy Shivam and his sister Khushi (10) were at home as Shivnathram had gone to buy medicine for fever while Pinky and her mother Ashadevi had gone for a routine gynaec check-up.
Ramprasad took away Shivam without Khushi's knowledge and went on Ukharla village road. There he stabbed the little one multiple times near a canal and killed him.
When Shivnathram returned home, Pinky and her mother were desperately searching for Shivam. As they went out, a vegetable vendor told them that he had seen some man taking Shivam towards Ukharla village.

When the three reached there, Ramprasad was washing his hands in the canal. He denied knowing anything about Shivam's whereabouts and started walking towards his house.
Shivnathram got suspicious and approached Vartej police station saying that he suspected Ramprasad.
“We summoned the accused and grilled him. He confessed to have killed the boy and took them to the spot from where the body was recovered,” investigating officer MS Jadeja told TOI.
