Nashik, March 22: A woman from Maharashtra’s Nashik city has been arrested on the charge of killing her 3-month-old daughter apparently because she did not like others talking about the child’s resemblance to her husband, an official said on Wednesday.
The mother, a resident of Gangapur Shivar area, initially claimed that a woman entered their home on Monday evening, made her unconscious using some chemical and slit her daughter’s throat, the official said.
