Savitri Kumar, 26, from Karnataka, India was allegedly embroiled in an explosive row with her son’s father, Ravi Kumar, 27, before the horror unfolded, reports the Times of India.
Police say her husband reportedly questioned her decision to give birth to a mute child.
When the parents fought about their son again on Saturday evening, Savitri was “distressed” and reportedly threw her son into a waste canal that flows into the Kali river – where huge crocodiles prowl the waters.
Neighbours who witnessed this called the police, who deployed divers to search for the boy but due to the darkness they had no success.
They returned on Sunday morning and found the child’s mutilated body with one hand missing and bite marks all over.
A local police officer suggested that the boy was mauled to death by one or more crocodiles.
A postmortem has been ordered to determine the six-year-old’s cause of death.
Officers have launched an investigation into the incident.
A police officer told local media that it was a “murder” case and that both the husband and wife have been arrested.
It comes as a TV star has revealed he’s made a killer doc on crocodiles after one tried to eat his cameraman alive.
Naturalist Steve Backshall was filming a TV show for the BBC when he and his cameraman were attacked by a crocodile over a decade ago.
You’d think he’d have had his fill of the killer reptiles, but you’d be wrong.
This week, he’s back with a brilliant two-part series doing a deep-dive on the cold-blooded creatures.
“We were diving with crocodiles in Botswana in 2011 and on the penultimate day, we had a huge male, about 4.5m long, and he just came straight for us,” remembers Steve about his brush with death.
“He went to the surface, took a breath, then came right between me and my cameraman and this big cloud of sand went up.
“I knew the croc was in there and my cameraman Johnny, who is a very dear friend of mine.”
