In a disturbing incident in Uttar Pradesh, a man paraded his eight-month-old son upside down on the streets of a village in Rampur. A video of the incident has also gone viral on social media. According to a report in India Today, the man paraded his eight-month-old son upside down to pressure his wife and her family for a dowry. It is reported that the accused, identified as Sanju, allegedly resorted to parading his son following an argument with his wife over dowry. Locals said that the accused repeatedly demanded money and a car from his wife. "My marriage happened in 2023. When I went there, they beat me—my brother-in-law, elder brother-in-law, everyone. They told me, 'Bring Rs 2 lakh and a car.' They beat me up over this every time," the accused's wife, Suman, said. Nisha Khatan, in charge of Milak Khanam Station, confirmed the incident. "Action has been taken against Sanju under Section 151 and the matter was also referred to the counselling centre," she added. ‘Was Supposed To Be My Daughter-in-Law’: Father of 6 Elopes With Minor Son’s ‘Fiancee’ in UP’s Rampur, Thrashes Wife for Objecting.
