    Digital Desk: A man in Maharashtra's Solapur was arrested for allegedly poisoning and killing his 14-year-old son. According to the authorities, the man killed his son as the boy he used to watch adult films on his phone and he was receiving regular complaints about his behavior from school.

    The accused person has been identified as Vijay Battu, a tailor who lived in Solapur City with his wife and two children.
    The man had initially kept the murder of his 14-year-old son, Vishal, hidden from both his wife and the police. Vijay and his wife visited the police station on January 13 in order to register their son as missing.

    Based on their complaint, the police registered a case and started an investigation. Police found the boy's body in a drain near the couple's house a few days later.

    The post-mortem report revealed that sodium nitrate, a poison, was found inside the deceased body. Following the registration of a murder case, the police began questioning Vijay's neighbors and family.

    The police found discrepancies in Vijay's testimony during questioning him.

    On January 28, Vijay admitted to his wife that he had killed their son while the police were still conducting their investigation. According to Vijay, the school had complained to him multiple times about Vishal interrupting students and not focusing on his studies.

    Vijay was upset because his son's school had been receiving complaints about him. Vijay was also not pleased with Vishal's actions at home and his addiction to adult films.

    When Vijay took his son for a bike ride early on January 13, he handed him a soft drink that had been laced with sodium nitrate. Upon Vishal's unconsciousness, Vijay threw his body into a nearby drain.

    Keerti, Vijay's wife, subsequently informed the authorities of her husband's confession. On January 29, Vijay was taken into custody by the police and brought before a magistrate's court.
    The court sent him to 2-day police custody.
