Woman held for death of baby over blind beliefs
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|March 09, 2025
Superstition has claimed the life of a seven-month-old baby at a village in Koppal district.
The baby's mother was arrested for allegedly killing the baby in the name of a blind belief.
During the postmortem, doctors found that the child was allegedly poisoned. It was reported that the child was sick from November and the mother visited many hospitals but in vain. Hence, the mother opted to perform puja for the baby's health and some people told her that the baby should be burnt with incense sticks to come out of the 'sin', but the baby died after the practice.
