Father Confesses to Murder of Infant Daughter in North Delhi

A grim revelation unfolded in North Delhi’s Bhalswa Dairy locality when a father admitted to killing his 10-month-old daughter and concealing her body inside a septic tank. The confession followed an intense interrogation that exposed contradictions in an earlier kidnapping complaint filed by the same man. The incident surfaced on 24 May when Mukundpur police station received a report of the baby’s alleged abduction. Investigators immediately deployed resources across the area and began reviewing CCTV footage. Discrepancies in the father’s account prompted deeper scrutiny, leading officers to focus on him as the primary suspect. Under pressure, the accused revealed that financial hardship had pushed him to commit the crime. He stated he had thrown the child into the septic tank and later created a false abduction story to deflect suspicion. Police teams recovered the body based on his directions and registered a case of murder. Senior officers emphasised that prompt verification of the initial complaint and thorough evidence collection helped crack the case quickly. Legal proceedings against the father are continuing while investigators examine all possible angles.
