New Delhi: A five-month-old baby on Wednesday succumbed to his injury after an iron nail pierced his forehead while his father was allegedly beating his mother with a stick inside the house in the national capital.

The child was rushed to the medical center. The toddler was recovering and was fine until Tuesday but soon his condition became worse.

His parents again rushed the child to the medical center where doctors found the child’s condition critical and referred him to a specialty hospital.

The post-mortem report is yet to come but the doctors say that the toddler died due to blood clotting in the brain.

The father of the deceased is absconding and the police is making efforts to arrest him.
