The gruesome incident took place on December 15. The woman who was profusely bleeding had been rushed to Kasargod Hospital when doctors who examined her informed that the bleeding had occurred after she delivered a baby. Immediately a search was launched and the newborn was found dead under the cot in the house. Its body was wrapped in a cloth.

Ironically, none in the family including her husband were aware that she was pregnant. It is learnt she had conceived within a few months of delivering her first baby. She confessed her crime and said she committed the act as she felt she might be rebuked for conceiving so soon when her first child was born just a few months ago.

She had planned to dispose the new born baby’s body but the profuse bleeding came in her way.
