Man who killed nephew by slamming him to ground in UP's Firozabad gets death penalty

A 24-year-old man named Jitendra Pathak, also known as Viraj, has been sentenced to death for murdering his one-and-a-half-year-old nephew, Aarav, in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh. The incident occurred after Viraj's sister-in-law reportedly rejected his marriage proposal, leading him to kill the child by repeatedly slamming him against the ground. The court also imposed a daily fine of ₹50,000. According to police, Viraj admitted during the investigation that he viewed the child as an obstacle to his plan to marry his brother's wife. Thirteen witnesses supported the prosecution, while the defense provided only one witness. The judge emphasized the need for strict punishment to prevent similar incidents and described the crime as heinous and unprovoked.
