The woman, identified as Usha Baghel, was later arrested by police after also attacking her husband when he tried to intervene.
According to police reports, Usha’s husband, Jagnnath Singh Baghel (21), who works as a daily wage laborer, told investigators that his wife had been suspicious of his character for the past few days, leading to frequent arguments. On Saturday night, during one such dispute, Usha lost control and allegedly killed their newborn son.
When Jagnnath tried to stop her, Usha reportedly attacked him as well, leaving him injured. He later alerted the neighbors, who called the police.
Infant Born Just 28 Days Ago
The couple had married in court earlier this year and welcomed their first child less than a month ago. Jagnnath hails from Ladhwari Mahua Khera in Lalitpur district of Uttar Pradesh, but had been living in Bhind for work.
Police Action and Investigation
Upon receiving the information, police rushed to the scene and sent the infant’s body for post-mortem examination at the Gohad Community Health Center. After the autopsy, the body was handed over to the family for last rites.
Station House Officer Pradeep Soni confirmed that the woman has been arrested and charged with murder under IPC Section 302. He stated,
“The incident occurred due to suspicion and ongoing disputes between the couple. Further investigation is underway.”
Police are also verifying statements and circumstances surrounding the domestic tension that led to this tragic crime.
