A woman killed her 3-year-old son by throwing him off the terrace after he caught her having sexual relations with a neighbour in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior.
The woman, Jyoti Rathore, killed her toddler son, fearing that he would disclose her affair to her husband Dhyan Singh, a police constable.
Things took a turn when, after killing her son, Jyoti started having nightmares about him, leading her to confess her crime to her husband.
Jyoti’s husband, Dhyan Singh, even recorded her confession and approached police to file a complaint into the matter, based on which an investigation was taken up.
During the investigation, it was found that Jyoti had an extramarital affair with her neighbour, Uday Indauliya.
The incident happened on April 28, when Dhyan Singh had organised the inauguration of his plastic shop. He had invited many people to the event, including his neighbour Uday Indauliya. While everyone was busy, Jyoti and Uday took the time to get intimate on the terrace. Jyoti’s son also followed his mother to the terrace where he witnessed her and Uday in a compromising position.
Frightened, Jyoti threw her 3-year-old son from the terrace to hide her affair. The toddler suffered serious head injuries and was taken to a hospital where he died the next day, on April 29.
Initially, everyone believed that the boy had fallen accidentally from the terrace. However, only after a few days, Jyoti started having nightmares about her son, eventually leading her to confess her crime to her husband.
Dhyan Singh then recorded her confession and approached police. Accordingly, a case was registered and both Jyoti and her lover Uday Indauliya were arrested.
