Mother kills girl child


Statesman News Service
MALDA, Jan. 17: A poverty stricken tribal woman, Debi Murmu, has allegedly killed her seven-month-old baby girl by administering poison in milk at Khirkidanga village in the Gazole police station area. It is being alleged that fed up with being blamed by her in-laws for giving birth to a girl instead of a boy, Debi killed her baby. Her husband, Surai Tudu, is in Delhi now in search of a job. They had married over a year ago, but Debi allegedly was being tortured by her mother in-law for giving birth to a girl. According to the Malda SP, Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhayay, no complaint has been lodged yet so far, but I have asked the Gazole police to inquire into the matter.
