In a tale of extreme parental cruelty, an alcoholic father flung to death his two-year-old ailing son into a Delhi canal, just three days after he abandoned his two starving and ill daughters in their house.The shocking revelations came when police arrested the man, identified as Bunty Gupta, 35, around 12.30 p.m. on Saturday from Samaypur Badli area in west Delhi. 

Investigators in Delhi Police were on the lookout for Gupta since August 19 when they rescued his daughters Himanshi, 8, and Deepali, 3, from a rented house - No 304 - in Nepali Colony, in Samaypur Badli area after being alerted by the neighbours. The siblings, who are being treated in the city's Bhim Rao Ambedkar Hospital, were locked in the house since August 15. Himanshi had deep maggot-infected wounds on her head while the house was stinking and was full of flies and mosquitoes when police rescued them.
