A six-month-old baby was allegedly strangled to death by her maternal grandparents in the Bhogpur area of Jalandhar. During interrogation, the police were able to recover the body based on the revelations made by the grandparents. The body was recovered from a secluded spot in Hoshiarpur’s Tanda Police Station limits on Saturday.
Bhogpur Police Station House Officer Rajesh Kumar confirmed the arrest of both the accused – Tarem Singh and Daljit Kaur, the victim’s maternal grandfather and grandmother.
Police have registered a case under Section 103 (Murder) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), based on a complaint by the child’s father, Shilendra Kumar, who was estranged from his wife, Maninder Kaur.
As per ANI, the police said that the infant’s mother had run away with her lover after getting married for the third time. Before running away, she had left the baby at her maternal home. There, the girl would cry without her mother, which the maternal grandparents were unable to handle.
Due to this, they strangled the girl and threw the body in a culvert at the highway. When the police took both the accused into custody and interrogated them, the incident was revealed. The dead body was also recovered on their information.
