A woman, 22, was arrested for allegedly killing her nine-day-old daughter in West Delhi’s Tikri on Friday.
The murder came to light on Thursday when the woman’s husband filed a complaint against her, reporting that he had come home to find his daughter’s lifeless body.
When the police arrived on the scene, they found the child’s body with its throat slit in a room on the second floor of the house and the child’s mother in another room. The woman was subsequently arrested under Section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and was taken into judicial custody. The police also seized the knife which was allegedly used to murder the baby.
During her interrogation, the woman allegedly confessed that she killed the baby because she did not wish to have a girl child.
The family had shifted to Delhi in 2019. The father of the arrested woman works in a shoe factory in Bahadurgarh and the couple also has a two-year-old son.
