In a deeply disturbing incident reported in Faridabad, a stepfather has been taken into custody for the alleged brutal murder of his three-year-old stepson. Local law enforcement officials confirmed that the accused, identified as Sushant, stands accused of slitting the young child's throat with a knife.

According to preliminary findings released by the police, the motive behind this Faridabad stepfather crime appears to be rooted in domestic instability and resentment. Sushant, 23, had reportedly married the victim’s mother, Sudha, approximately one year prior. Following their union, the young boy, Aditya, had been residing with his maternal grandparents in Shiv Durga Vihar, Faridabad.

On the morning of June 21, the couple reportedly visited the grandparents' residence in SGM Nagar. It was during this visit that Sushant allegedly seized a violent opportunity to harm the toddler. By 11 am on Sunday, the young victim was discovered on a bed, having suffered a fatal, deep laceration to his throat. The immediate aftermath saw a swift response from the Surajkund police station, with crime branch units and forensic teams dispatched to secure the scene and gather evidence.
Following the discovery, the victim's body was transferred for a mandatory post-mortem examination to establish the precise cause of death. A formal FIR was lodged based on a complaint filed by Shriram, the grandfather of the deceased child. The Faridabad crime branch, specifically the team from Sector 16, achieved a significant breakthrough in the case by locating and arresting the accused stepfather. A police spokesperson confirmed that the suspect is currently in custody and is scheduled to be produced before a city court to face the legal proceedings regarding this heinous Faridabad stepfather act.
As the legal process moves forward, the community remains in a state of mourning over the loss of the young life. Authorities have emphasized their commitment to a thorough investigation to ensure justice is served for the child, while the details of this tragic case continue to be analyzed by legal and forensic experts.
