Malappuram (Kerala), Feb 19: children of a couple in a span of nine years has raised suspicion among police personnel here who have registered a case following a complaint after a three-month-old child of the family died on Tuesday and was buried.
Police exhumed the body, which was buried in the morning, and took it to the district hospital at Tirur for post-mortem.
The infant was the sixth child of the couple, police said.
"A case has been registered (for unnatural death) in the matter to verify the death beyond any suspicion raised by locals since five other children of the couple had died in the past nine years," a senior police official said.
The couple had three boys and three girls of which the third girl child lived till the age of four and the rest died before turning one.
"The post-mortem will take place today itself.We are collecting the medical records of the children who had passed away earlier.
We will identify the cause of death after analysing the records and discuss the matter with forensic doctors," Tirur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) said.
However, relatives claimed that there was nothing suspicious in the death of the children and that doctors have said it was due to some genetic disease.
"The post-mortem of the third child was conducted and the doctors said the death was due to some genetic problems. They said they were helpless," a relative said, adding that the family was ready to face any probe.
According to the locals, the couple had claimed that the children have died due to epilepsy.
Sources said the baby was taken to a hospital but was dead prior to reaching the hospital early this morning.
Taking a swipe at Modi for failing to bring back black money and for implementing demonetisation, Siddaramaiah termed the Modi government the most corrupt one. “Demonetisation is a big failure. More than 100 people have died trying to withdraw their own money standing in queues (in front of banks). Congress will launch a massive movement against demonetisation,” he said.
