Telangana: Superstitious mother kills infant daughter
According to Praveen Kumar, sub-inspector, Mothey, B Bharati, a teaching graduate, slit her daughter's throat on Thursday believing that she was the reason for her miseries.
HYDERABAD: A woman, who has been under the influence of superstition, killed her six-month-old daughter by slitting the baby’s throat hoping that the accused will overcome the influence of undesirable force by doing this sacrifice.
This incident took place at Mothey in Suryapet district of Telangana on Thursday evening.

Mothey police said that the 32-year-old Bharathi, in the absence of her family members, allegedly slit the throat of her yet to be named baby, using a knife.

Later, she herself confessed to her relative, who resides near her house, that she killed the baby.

"After killing the baby, Bharathi told her family members and relatives that her actions in fact helped in saving the lives of other family members, since Bharathi thinks that she has Sarpadosham," Mothey sub-inspector Praveen Kumar told TOI.
It was about five years ago, Bharathi was told by someone that she has Sarpadosham.

Since then she has been personally feeling that Sarpadosham is creating a negative impact on her life.
"According to her family members, Bharathi used to constantly go through various videos on YouTube, to know how to overcome Sarpadosham," police said.
At the time of murder, Bharathi’s husband Krishna, who is an agriculturist went to his relatives house, whereas his mother went to their agriculture field.
Krishna’s aged father was sleeping outside their house.
After the accused informed their relative about the murder, they rushed into the accused’s residence and found the baby in a pool of blood.
Near the baby, she arranged a photo of a god.
A murder case was registered against Bharathi on the complaint given by her husband.
Nearly a couple of years back, Bharathi, who was already a divorcee, married Krishna.
It was after her second marriage, she gave birth to the victim.
From the last one-and-half months, Bharathi’s focus on overcoming Sarpadosham has increased and she allegedly decided to sacrifice her daughter to overcome it.
