An angry father is believed to have shot his wife after their eight-year-old child drowned while playing in a canal in Patsal village in India.

The man blamed his wife for negligence and believes she caused the death, police said.

According to reports, Mukesh shot dead Sunita Devi when she came home with Saurabh’s body, police said, adding that he is absconding.

Oneindia reports:

According to villagers, Saurabh had accompanied his mother when she was going to offer prayers at the village temple. On the way he stopped to play in a canal, which turned out to be deeper than he thought and started to drown.

Sunita shouted for help, at which some villagers came to their rescue.

He was taken to hospital in nearby Bharatpur, but the doctors failed to save his life, police said. A case of murder has been filed and efforts are on to nab the accused, they said.
