Karnataka Mother Kills Newborn Daughter

In Karnataka, a mother named Ashwini Halkatti strangled her three-day-old baby girl because she wanted a son instead.

She already had three daughters and was upset when she had another girl.

The baby was born in a health center and taken home the next day.

When her mother left the house, Ashwini strangled the baby and then pretended the baby wasn't breathing.

The baby was taken to the hospital, but the doctors said she had been strangled.

Ashwini was arrested and is being treated in the hospital.

The police are still investigating.

This is a very sad and serious crime, and the government is trying to stop such things from happening.
