In a very shocking incident, a 30-year-old woman allegedly killed her infant daughter and her two-year-old son for crying incessantly, and later burnt their bodies at a field in a village in Maharashtra’s Nanded district.
The police arrested the accused woman named Dhurpadabai Ganpat Nimalwad, on Thursday along with her mother and brother, who helped her dispose off the bodies of the children, a police official said.
“Dhurpadabai allegedly strangled her four-month-old daughter Anusuya over her incessant crying on May 31. The next day, she killed her son Datta in the same manner after he cried asking for food,” the official said.
The killings took place in Pandurna village for two days in a row – on May 31 and June 1.
On Wednesday, the accused woman then burnt their bodies on a pyre at a field with the help of her mother Kondabai Rajemod and brother Madhav Rajemod, who are both residents of Mukhed taluka.
