Medak: A woman with the support of her father and aunt eliminated her six-month-old baby girl since the child was an obstacle for her third marriage.
According to the Medak police, Nunavath Gayathri, a resident of Topya Thanda in Cilpiched mandal, married a man from Adhmapur thanda in Narsapur mandal three years ago. However, she separated from him after a few months. Later, she married another man from Sitaram thanda in Kulcharam mandal. Gayarthi developed differences with her second husband after she gave birth to a baby girl six months ago. However, Gayathri, along with the baby, left her second husband. When her parents decided to get her married to another man, she felt that there was none to take care of her daughter.
Gayathri, with the help of her father Rathla Deepla and her aunt Bhuli, an Anganwadi teacher by profession, decided to eliminate the infant. They allegedly threw the infant into the river Manjeera at Sri Chamundeshwari Devi temple at Chitkul in Chilipiched mandal. Meanwhile, the father of the baby filed a missing complaint in Kulcharam mandal after which the police launched the investigation and found that the mother and her kin were the culprits.
The accused were produced before a court in Medak on Thursday and were remanded in judicial custody.
