The boy, Sagar Kumar, can be seen walking with the body, followed closely by his father. They had picked up the body from the post-mortem house in the hospital.
According to police, the two-year-old child, Kala Kumar, was crushed to death on Friday after his stepmother Sita allegedly threw him under a car near a bank in Baghpat, on the Delhi-Saharanpur highway, because he was crying incessantly.
Circle officer of Baghpat, Devendra Kumar Sharma, said, “Locals informed us, after which a case was registered against the woman under relevant sections of the IPC and she was arrested. The body of the boy was sent to the post-mortem house at the hospital.”
The body was handed over to his father, Praveen Kumar, who is a daily wage labourer in Shamli district, after the autopsy.
Praveen was accompanied by his relative Rampal and his son Sagar.
Rampal alleged that Praveen repeatedly requested a health official to provide a vehicle to carry the body. “However, they did not pay any heed to his request,” he said.
