Jaipur: The Rajasthan police have solved one of the two mysterious deaths of girls, and it turned out to be a case of female infanticide. The four-month-old girl was killed by none other than her mother who reportedly confessed to her crime after 13 days. She used a sharp object to kill the girl who had 16 injury marks on her body.
The police have arrested 35-year-old Neha Goyal for the murder of four-month-old who was found with the throat slit in an air conditioner box on the second floor of a three-storey building at Subash Nagar. After allegedly killing her daughter, the culprit had raised an alarm stating that the girl was missing.
“After the murder on August 26, preliminary investigations showed that nobody had tried to enter the house. Since it was a family with 35 members living together, we suspected that someone from inside the house could be behind the act,” said Anshuman Bhomia, deputy commissioner of police (north). The police got suspicious after FSL report confirmed that blood found on Neha’s nails matched with the girl because she had not touched the body after killing her.
The police also took cyber cell’s help to check mother’s phone records that revealed that she used to search for techniques and medicines for having baby boy but after killing her daughter she had deleted search history.
The accused reportedly told the police that she wanted a boy for which the couple had tried various things. Last year, she also performed a yajna to have a baby boy. The girl she killed was her fourth child. She has an eight-year-old girl while two children had died during pregnancy.
Neha Goyal is well-educated and hails from an affluent family. The police also suspect murder in the case of a six-months-old disabled girl whose body was found in the bathroom last month.
