An Indian origin man living in Queens, New York, Jagsheer Singh, was charged with first-degree assault and child endangerment charges in the death of his four-month-old son. The charges are likely to be upgraded once the police investigation is complete, and the man is found guilty.

Police responded to 205-40 Brian Crescent in Queens around 8:09 p.m. on December 20 where a baby was reported to have trouble breathing and became unconscious, reported Pix11.

The baby was transported to Flushing Hospital in critical condition. On Christmas eve, the child died from his injuries. The cause of death is under investigation.

Singh, 28, faced first-degree assault and child endangerment charges for allegedly inflicting life-threatening injuries on the baby, identified as Nevin Janduher, the report said.

Singh was taking care of the baby Friday night while his wife, Dr. Reena Malhotra, went to work at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, prosecutors said Monday, reported the New York Daily News.

After the radiologist came home to their Bayside apartment and went to sleep, Singh woke her up to say the baby was having problems breathing, prosecutors said.

Singh told cops the boy had fallen off the changing table, but doctors found “multiple severe skull fractures” that weren’t consistent with an accident.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown was earlier quoted by the News, before the child succumbed to his injuries: “The baby is in grave condition and if he does not survive, the charges will be upgraded.”
