Bengaluru: Mother Throws Daughter From 4th Floor

A woman can be seen throwing her four-year-old daughter from the fourth floor of an apartment. The incident took place at an apartment complex in Sampangiramanagar of Bengaluru on Thursday. The video of the woman doing the act went viral.

According to the police, the woman is a dentist and her husband is a software engineer. They got married 12 years ago. The four-year-old girl was hearing and speech impaired. A complaint was filed by her husband and the woman was arrested.

“Some neighbors heard the cries of the child and rushed for help. They pulled her back and informed the police. The child who had crashed on the ground was rushed to a private hospital and then to NIMHANS, where she succumbed to her injuries,” deputy commissioner of police (Central) R Srinivas Gowda said.

He said, “We have booked her under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for murder. She was produced before the court and has been sent to judicial custody.”

The DCP said that in the preliminary investigation, the woman had left her child on a train. The husband then brought the child back home with the help of child helpline members but didn’t file a complaint against her.
