New Delhi, March 21
The Delhi Police Rohini District arrested one woman of Uttar Pradesh who allegedly murdered a three-year-old child.
The accused was identified as Neelam (25) of Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh.
DCP Rohini, Pranav Tayal stated that the accused was caught within 24 hours of finding the dead body of the child. The woman couldn't approached a Tantric in Hardoi who reportedly asked her to sacrifice the child to appease God.
The Budh Vihar police station had received a call on March 20 that a child of around three years is missing.
The police formed search teams and began searching for the child. During the search operation, one of the staff noticed a white colour bag on the roof of the adjacent house. The way it was kept, raised suspicion in the minds of police personnel. Therefore, they immediately went near to the bag & opened it and found the dead body of the said child inside. The deceased child had some injury marks on his neck and on prima facie observation, he happened to be strangulated.
The police subsequently recorded statements of the deceased's father Dayaram Gupta and registered a case of murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
The police stated that the Family members, relatives and neighbors of the family were questioned. During the course of interrogation, it was revealed that last time the child was seen with one of the neighbors namely Neelam. After sustained questioning in which the accused tried to mislead the police, she confessed her guilt of committing the murder when the boy was alone playing on the roof.
The police added that during the course of interrogation, she revealed that she got married in 2013 but did not have a kid despite medical aid. She informed that she was under a lot of pressure to conceive due to the taunts of her in-laws & society. Therefore, she approached a Tantric in Hardoi four years back who suggested to her that time to sacrifice a child if she wants to conceive.
The police added that in sheer desperation to have a kid of her own, she decided to kill the son of her neighbour to make the almighty happy. On March 20, she visited the roof of the building in which all the families stayed together in the absence of family members and executed her plan.
