Telangana: Woman murders infant amid same-sex relationship
In an incident near Hosur, a woman allegedly killed her five-month-old infant, reportedly viewing the child as an “obstacle” to her same-sex relationship.
The accused, Bharathi, wife of Suresh from Chinnatti village near Hosur, had given birth to her third male child five months ago. Police investigations revealed that Bharathi was in a same-sex relationship with her unmarried neighbour, Sumithra.
According to police reports, Sumithra had urged Bharathi to get rid of the child so they could spend time together without interference. On November 4, Bharathi allegedly smothered her infant to death. Later, she pretended that the baby had died of natural causes while breastfeeding. Believing her story, relatives buried the child.
