In a heart-wrenching incident, a 40-year-old woman from Ajitsar village in Rajasthan's Bikaner was arrested on Saturday for allegedly strangling her newborn son just hours after he was born at a government hospital. The mother, Guddi Devi, had delivered a healthy baby boy on Friday morning. However, police suspect that Guddi, who was already a mother of four children, became overwhelmed by severe financial hardship and her inability to care for another child. According to Maina Devi, Guddi's elder sister, the family had been struggling to make ends meet. Guddi's husband, Tara Chand, had suffered a brain haemorrhage, leaving him paralysed and bedridden. The couple's financial struggles had taken a toll on Guddi's mental and emotional well-being, leading to her alleged actions. Hospital staff reported that the family's behavior seemed suspicious, as they did not take the baby for several hours after birth and Guddi had not undergone any medical check-ups during her pregnancy. The postmortem confirmed that the infant was strangled, leading to a murder case being registered against Guddi Devi. The Station House Officer, Sukhram Chotia, stated that Guddi is currently undergoing treatment and will be arrested once discharged. This tragic incident highlights the devastating consequences of financial struggles and the importance of seeking help when needed.
