Karnataka woman arrested after 4-month-old twin daughters found dead at home
A 43-year-old woman was arrested after her four-month-old twin daughters were found dead at their Karnataka home, with police suspecting they were drowned.
In Karnataka's Thalaghattapura, a 43-year-old woman has been arrested after her four-month-old twin daughters were found dead at their home on Tuesday, police announced. Authorities suspect the mother drowned the infants before attempting to take her own life. The children's bodies were sent to Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences for a postmortem examination.
Police inspector Ramachandra Chaudhary stated that the woman had allegedly drowned the children in a bucket before attempting suicide by hanging herself from the house's roof. Her husband discovered the scene and managed to rescue her. The couple had married in 2002 and welcomed the twin girls via IVF treatment in May. Relatives reportedly noticed changes in the woman's behavior following the birth, with her becoming less interested in caring for the infants and suggesting they be sent to an ashram.
She subsequently received psychiatric treatment for potential postpartum depression and hormonal imbalance. The woman is currently undergoing treatment at NIMHANS and is out of immediate danger. Police registered a case under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to murder.
