Hyderabad: Mom flings infant from flat over feud with hubby

A couple’s running feud cost a newborn his life after the mother threw the baby out of her parents’ third-floor flat at Fatehnagar. The baby was 14 days old.

The woman, Lavanya (27), has been booked for murder under IPC Section 302 but is yet to be arrested as she is still recovering after delivery. She had attempted suicide by consuming rat poison on October 29. She survived as her parents rushed her to a hospital and later gave birth to the boy on October 30. Her family members had then lodged a complaint against her husband Venu Gopal (32), a software professional, at the Sanathnagar police station. A case of domestic violence and abetment to suicide was registered against Venu.

Sanathnagar police said Venu had married Lavanya in 2016 but the marriage was stormy and despite several counselling sessions the couple failed to reconcile their differences. The couple’s first son is three years old.

After discharge from the hospital, Lavanya went to her parents house.

On Friday, she threw the baby from the third floor of her parents’ house. The baby died on the spot. Later, her brother told Venu the baby died. Venu lodged a plaint against his wife, accusing her of killing the child due to disputes with him.
