Tragedy struck in Bengaluru's Vajrahalli area when a mother allegedly caused the deaths of her four-month-old twin daughters before attempting to end her own life. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at a residence in BCC HS Layout. The children's father, Ramalingappa, discovered his wife, Umadevi, attempting suicide after he forced open a locked room.
Inside the room, the twin infants were found deceased. Medical professionals at Shankar Hospital indicated that the babies may have died from submersion in water. Police have registered a case against Umadevi under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as reported by the father.
Following the birth of the twins on May 5 via IVF, the family had noticed concerning changes in Umadevi's behavior. She reportedly expressed disinterest in the children and repeatedly mentioned sending them to an ashram. She had been undergoing psychiatric treatment for what doctors attributed to postpartum depression and hormonal imbalance. The Talaghattapura Police are continuing their investigation.
