Later he took him to the Kharadi Dargah forest area where he slit the throat of his son with a sharp object.
Sima Dhakane, senior police inspector at Chandannagar police station said, “When police questioned the accused, he was under the influence of alcohol and was misleading the police.’’
Dhakane further said that, after the technical analysis, police were suspicious of Madhav Teketi and later during the interrogation, he confessed to having killed his son. Following that, the police booked the accused under BNS sections 103(1) and 238.
