Parents Allegedly Kill 2-Month-Old Baby
A tragic incident came to light in Quthbullapur under the limits of Dundigal Police Station, Medchal, Telangana, where a two-month-old baby was allegedly killed by his parents. A young couple, Mamata (22) and Rajendra (21), were arrested in connection with the death of their infant son, Surya. The couple, who had migrated from a village in Madhya Pradesh to Hyderabad in search of livelihood, were residing at Sanarelli High Rise Apartments in Baurampet. According to police, the baby had been crying continuously for the past two days, which allegedly led the mother to lose her temper. She stuffed cloth into the infant's mouth, tied his hands and legs, and threw him into a burning stove, resulting in the child's death. The police registered a case and shifted the body to Gandhi Hospital for a post-mortem. Officials are investigating whether the mother was suffering from mental health issues at the time of the incident. Both parents are currently in police custody, said Dundigal Police.
