Bengaluru, August 05: A woman was arrested in Bengaluru on Friday for allegedly killing her four-year-old mentally challenged daughter by throwing her from the fourth floor of a building.

Sushma had previously attempted to abandon her daughter at a railway station. Kiran immediately rushed to the station and found their daughter, according to the police.
