(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) In a harrowing turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, a man suffering from depression allegedly murdered his three-year-old niece by slitting her throat. The horrific incident unfolded late Sunday night around 10 pm in Jahangirabad locality.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP, Zone 1) Priyanka Shukla, the police were alerted to the scene following distressing reports about the young girl. "Police at Jahangirabad police station received information last night about the murder of a three-year-old girl. Acting promptly, the police team reached the spot and discovered that the minor's maternal uncle, Faraz, had tragically ended her life by slitting her throat with a knife," Shukla revealed in an exclusive statement to ANI, reported Times of India.

The accused, identified as Faraz, holds a Bachelor of Science degree but had been battling severe depression due to unemployment.

The chilling murder, driven by the frustrations of an unemployed man, unfolded in the midst of a domestic argument. Sources indicate that Faraz had been subjected to relentless taunts from his family regarding his joblessness. It is alleged that these provocations may have triggered his deadly outburst.
