The man was arrested yesterday after the police fished out the minor's body from a pond located in an adjacent village, a police officer said. During interrogation, the man said that he had killed his son as a result of a strained relationship with his wife, Officer-in-charge of Dalbhumgarh police station, Shyam Narayan Ojha, said.
