A 30-year-old Indian woman was arrested for allegedly killing her one-and-half-month-old son and throwing the body into a canal, police said Monday.
The incident happened in neighbouring Kaira district and the body of the child was found on May 23, an official said.
A probe at several hospitals in the vicinity as well as birth registers of civic bodies in the region led the police to accused Asha Rathod who had given birth recently at Nadiad civil hospital, said the official.
Kathlal police station official DK Raol said Asha Rathod was married in 2009 and had two children, but was fighting a court case with her husband and was staying separately since 2015. Read more
