A four-year-old boy was allegedly killed by his father for repeatedly crying for milk in Powai, Mumbai.
Rajesh Prakash Singh (27) was arrested following the incident on Friday.
His younger son Yash (4) was a special child and survived primarily on milk.
Rajesh was unemployed and his wife left him 15 days ago due to his alcoholism and inability to support the family.
He allegedly slammed the boy against a door before repeatedly banging his head on the floor.
Rajesh initially gave evasive answers but confessed to killing his son during sustained interrogation.
