Upset that his wife gave birth to a girl and not a boy, a 30-year-old man murdered his month-old daughter in cold blood and then abandoned his wife at Churchgate station. Nearly a month after this atrocity, he was finally arrested yesterday, once his wife gathered the courage to tell her family what had happened. The police are also investigating how a death certificate was issued for the baby without a post-mortem being conducted.
