Mother throws her disabled six
A mother has thrown her disabled six-year-old son into a crocodile-infested river where he has reportedly been mauled to death by reptiles.
Savitri Kumar, 26, from Uttara Kannada, a district in the western Indian state of Karnataka, had a heated argument with the boy's father, Ravi Kumar, 27, who repeatedly ordered her to 'throw the child away', the Times of India reports.
Police say her husband allegedly questioned her decision to give birth to a child with a disability.
When the parents fought about their son again on Saturday evening, Savitri was 'distressed' and reportedly threw her son into a waste canal that flows into the Kali river, which is infested with crocodiles.
Neighbours who witnessed this called the police, who deployed divers to search for the boy in the water, but to no avail, as the darkness hindered their operations.
