Woman Kills Newborn Daughter in Ghaziabad
A young woman named Jharna from West Bengal had a baby girl.
She didn't want a girl because she really wanted a son.
She threw the baby from the roof of her sister's house in Ghaziabad, and the baby got very hurt and died.
The police found out and arrested Jharna.
She said she was scared to tell her husband she had a girl.
The doctors said the baby was alive when she was thrown.
Jharna is now in trouble for what she did.
Jharna, a 22-year-old woman from West Bengal, killed her newborn daughter by throwing her from the terrace of her sister's house in Ghaziabad.
The incident occurred around 6:30 AM on December 5, 2023, and the baby was found on a neighbor's roof.
Jharna claimed the baby was stillborn, but the post-mortem report revealed the baby was alive when she suffered fatal injuries.
