HYDERABAD: Upset that her husband was giving a lot of attention to his brother’s three-year-old son, a 21-year old housewife dropped the boy from the second floor of a building in Kummarwadi in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
With critical injuries, the boy succumbed while undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
Ayesha Bano had married Sujauddin, a muezzin from Kummarwadi Colony in Edi Bazar, 16 months ago. “Ayesha Bano was upset that she has not been able to conceive. Sujauddin was very affectionate towards children and he used to spend a lot of time with his elder brother Ehteshamuddin’s three-year-old son, Numaanuddin. Ayesha was upset with her husband’s affection towards the boy.
On Tuesday morning, she dropped Numaanuddin from the second floor of their building,” Bhavani Nagar inspector N Venkateshwarulu said.
The boy suffered a severe head injury and he succumbed while undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
Police have registered a murder case against Ayesha under Section 302 of the IPC and took her into custody. After post-mortem examination, the boy’s body was handed over to the family.
