Man Arrested After Alleged Drowning of His 10-Year-Old Son at Gorai Beach

The arrest follows a police reclassification to murder as investigators examine CCTV, mobile and lifeguard evidence.

Overview

  • Police say the father took his 10-year-old son to Gorai/Kolevem Beach after a heated argument on July 28 and the boy later drowned.
  • The child’s body washed ashore and was identified by his mother after she filed a missing-persons report with Malvani police.
  • Authorities traced the father to Versova using mobile location data and CCTV and arrested him at a relative’s home before handing him to Gorai police.
  • Officials report the accused confessed that he drowned the boy to punish his wife and a murder case has been registered while inquiries continue.
  • The family lived in Malvani and both parents worked as freelance beach photographers, with police citing frequent marital quarrels as context for the probe.
