Mumbai, Jun 29: In a shocking incident, a 25-year-old woman allegedly killed her six-year-old son as she could not bear his expenses due to rising prices in Mumbai.
The woman, identified as Savitra Durnale, after strangulating her son Devraj, took him to Shatabdi Hospital pretending he was unwell.
However, she was caught when doctors examining the boy found he was already dead and stated his death to be unnatural. During further examination they found ligature marks on parts of his neck and intimated the RCF police.
“After going through the doctor's report we detained the child's mother, who initially gave a false story that her son was unwell for two days. But on sustained interrogation, she confessed that she strangulated him as she was unable to make ends meet," said Umap Shahaji, deputy commissioner of police (zone 6). She has been booked for murder and remanded to police custody.
Savitra, a native of Gulbarga, told police that after the death of her husband four years ago she didn't have a place to stay.
"Hearing her plight, a bar girl employed Savitra as a domestic help and let her stay with her in Chembur. Savitra also worked in two other places and earned Rs 4,000 a month. But, recently Devraj fell ill and she said she was fed up with the expenses on his medicines and couldn't ask for more money from her employer," said Shahaji.
She told police that on Monday while her employer was away, she waited till Devraj fell asleep and strangulated him with her dupatta.
Welcoming the move Dr Arathi Krishna told coastaldigst.com that Indians stranded in any foreign country can utilize this facility. "Initially, I was approached by Mr Zakaria and Mr Sheik who wanted chartered flights to help their employees fly back to India. I asked them to write to the Indian Ambassador in Saudi Araia Mr Ausaf Sayeed. Then I requested the ambassador to forward the request to Joint Secretary Dr Nagendra Prasad, who is in charge of gulf division in the Ministry of External Affairs, and then to Secretary on charge of Gulf and then I requested Secretary of Economic Relations Mr T S Tirumurti who was also in charge of Gulf to follow this up," she said.

Modi is unfit for PM. If he spends 5 percent of his travelling expenses on poor people. He can save millions of people.
Ache din has become the bad words for Indian. It has become the abuse word because of feku/Jumla prime minister.
