Both were, however, granted bail by a court here on Saturday.

According to the police, the infant died in January due to profuse bleeding after a circumcision procedure conducted by the accused.

The police had initially registered a case of unnatural death.

“There was no complaint from the family as they had taken the child for the circumcision. The arrest was made after a detailed post mortem report and an enquiry into the incident,” police said.
