Auraiya horror saga: Mother hangs self after triple murder
KANPUR: The postmortem report of three minor girls, including the 15-day old infant, who along with their mother were found hanging in their house at Seud village in Auraiya district on Thursday, indicated they had been strangled. Their necks bore strangulation marks.
According to police, the investigation indicates that after snuffing out lives of three kids, the woman, Sadhna, hanged herself.
Police, however, said that there was no definite lead on what exactly drove Sadhna to take such an extreme step as no suicide note was recovered from the spot, but her father Sipahi Lal and brother Awadh Bihari said she had given birth to a baby girl about 15 days ago for which she was reprimanded by her husband Kuldeep and her in-laws, who wanted a boy after two girls.

Kuldeep’s neighbours also conceded that he (Kuldeep) and other family members constantly scolded Sadhna since she delivered the third girl child.
Besides Kuldeep's neigbours, the woman’s parents and siblings too accused Sadhna's husband and her in-laws for harassing her following the birth of their third daughter. Fed up with the harassment, she ended her life.
“Later, following a complaint, Kuldeep was arrested on charges of abetment to uicide. Further investigations are on in this regard," said inspector Dibiyapur Kotwali Ram Sahay.
"Following ruckus created by the kin and relatives of the deceased, the administration on Friday deployed heavy police force in Kuldeep’s village”, the inspector further said.
After the postmortem, the bodies of the woman and her three kids were handed to her parents, who stay in Sahail area of the district, the inspector further said.
