  "summary": "A newborn girl has been allegedly strangled to death at a hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Ashok Nagar, with police suspecting the involvement of either her mother or grandmother, according to sources. The baby, who was the third daughter of a joint family from Sakrra village in Chanderi area, was born on October 2 and admitted to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) shortly after. She was found dead between 3 and 4 p.m. on October 3, with marks around her neck indicating strangulation, as confirmed by a post-mortem conducted by a doctor. Police are investigating the incident and suspecting the family, as Madhya Pradesh has seen a high number of infanticide cases in recent years, with 12 recorded in 2023 alone.",
