LODHRAN: A man reportedly strangled his infant grandson after being enraged over his daughter’s decision to marry by her own choice.
The woman lodged an FIR at a local police station against her father and accused him of murdering his own grandson. The woman said she had married by choice several months ago but her father did not approve of her marriage.
