In a shocking and tragic incident, a woman allegedly strangled her six-day-old newborn while breastfeeding her. She later reported her baby missing to the police. However, upon investigation, she confessed to the crime, stating that societal pressure and the birth of her fourth daughter led her to commit the heinous act. This incident occurred in the Khayala area of West Delhi. 🏠
Early Friday morning, a call was made to the Khayala Police Station by 28-year-old Shivani, who claimed that her six-day-old baby had gone missing. She told the police that after being discharged from the hospital on Thursday, she had gone to her parents' house. She mentioned that she had fed her baby and put her to sleep the previous night, but when she woke up, the baby was missing. 🚨
The police immediately arrived at the scene and began investigating. They reviewed the CCTV footage from the area surrounding the house and started searching for the missing infant. During the investigation, Shivani informed the police that she needed to visit the hospital to remove her stitches. Her insistence on going to the hospital, despite her missing baby, raised suspicion among the police officers, but they did not stop her due to medical concerns. 🕵️♂️
Meanwhile, the police continued their search for the missing baby. They found a bag on the roof of a neighboring house. When they opened the bag, they discovered the lifeless body of the infant inside. The baby was immediately rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared her dead. The body was then sent for a post-mortem examination. 🏥
After suspecting Shivani's behavior, the police questioned her further. During the interrogation, Shivani broke down in tears and confessed to strangling her own daughter. She explained that this was her fourth daughter, and two of her daughters had previously died after childbirth. She revealed that she could not bear the mockery and criticism from society for giving birth to another girl and decided to end the baby's life. 🥺
The police have registered a case and are conducting further investigations. A police officer stated that appropriate action would be taken after receiving the post-mortem report. ⚖️
