A 34-year-old man, who tried to help his wife deliver at home with the help of YouTube videos near Ranipet, was arrested on Monday after the baby died.
Police said that R. Loganathan, 34, a petty trader in Nedumpuli village that comes under Panapakkam village panchayat in Nemili taluk in Ranipet district, relied on YouTube videos to help his wife L.
