Ranchi, Feb 2 (IANS) A man who strangulated his year-old son after suspecting his wife’s illicit relation was held in Jharkhand’s Palamau district, police said Wednesday.

Manoj Paswan, a resident of Satvahini village of the district, around 160 km from here, was arrested late Tuesday.

‘Paswan quarrelled with his wife Monday as he charged her with having an illicit relation with a neighbour, and alleged that the son did not belong to him. The quarrel turned ugly and led to the infant’s death,’ a police official said.
