In a shocking incident, an infant died after a cat dropped him from the roof of a building in Badaun, said a police official on Tuesday. 

The newborn baby was sleeping next to his mother when he was picked up by a wild cat. The animal dropped the baby from the roof of the house.

The incident happened on Monday night in a village under Usawan Police Station area in Badaun. When the infant's father saw the cat carrying away his son by its mouth, he tried to chase it but it dropped the baby.

The deceased baby was just 15-day-old. According to police, the mother Asma gave birth to twins -- a girl child Alshifa and a boy Rihan -- fifteen days back in Gautra Patti Bhauni village.

Asma's husband Hasan told the police that ever since the twins were born, a cat was seen in the house everyday, but the alert family members used to chase it away.

Hasan said that sometime on Monday night, the cat carried away Rihan, asleep close to Asma. As Asma got up and raised an alarm and screamed, Hasan ran after the cat which dropped the child and he fell from the roof and died on the spot, police said.

SHO Usawan Ramendra Singh confirmed the death of the infant. He said the family members of the baby have not given any complaint letter in the matter yet.
