A "prank" turned into tragedy in Gujarat when a man died after his cousin inserted a compressor pipe in his private parts, according to a India Today report.
The incident happened when the deceased Prakash had gone to meet his brother Ghevabhai and his friends. Prakash's cousin Alpesh shoved a compressor pipe into his private parts "for fun", causing his body to be filled with air, the report said quoted cops.
The act led to Prakash falling unconscious and was declared dead after he was taken to a hospital, it said. The report quoted Ghevabhai, who filed a police complaint, saying that Alpesh pushed the compressor pipe up the victim's private parts despite knowing about the high air pressure in it.
In another news from Gujarat, a 15-year-old boy was detained for allegedly murdering the child of the woman he was in love with in Gujarat's Valsad district.
The teen was held after the police exhumed the body of the four-month-old child on the complaint of the married woman identified as Muskan Asgarali, the official said.
"Asgarali, a resident of Umargam here and hailing from Uttar Pradesh, told police he had killed the infant on January 13 and lied about it being an accident. She had gone to the market when the incident took place. The accused told her the child fell from the bed and had suffered head injuries," the official said.
"The child was declared dead at a nearby hospital and was buried in Umargam cemetery. The accused left the place on January 14, which made the woman suspicious. Following her complaint on January 15, the child's body was exhumed in the presence of the sub-divisional magistrate. As per the post mortem report, the child suffered grievous head injuries," he said.
