In Ghaziabad, a 22-year-old woman was apprehended last week for allegedly killing her newborn daughter minutes after delivery. The infant was reportedly thrown from a terrace, with the intention of concealing the body. However, the baby tragically landed on a neighbor's roof, leading to the discovery.
The woman claimed poverty prevented hospital visits and asserted the newborn was stillborn. This account was contradicted by a post-mortem report, which indicated the baby girl was alive and sustained fatal injuries, including a broken skull and fractured bones, within an hour of birth.
