Overview

• Madhav Teketi, a 38-year-old IT engineer, murdered his son Himmat by slitting his throat in a forested area near Pune’s Chandan Nagar on March 20, 2025.
• The crime was premeditated, with Teketi purchasing a knife and blade before the act, and later misleading police while under the influence of alcohol.
• Police tracked Teketi using CCTV footage showing him leaving with his son but returning alone, and mobile data led them to a lodge where he was found intoxicated.
• Teketi confessed during interrogation and directed police to the crime scene, where the child’s body was recovered and sent for a post-mortem examination.
• The murder stemmed from Teketi’s suspicions about his wife’s fidelity and doubts about his son’s paternity; legal proceedings and further investigations are ongoing.
