Woman booked for murdering her two kids

Rajkot: A 32-year-old woman was booked for the murder of her two children in Rajapara village of Sihor taluka of Bhavnagar on Monday late evening. The woman Sunita Makwana had jumped into village pond with her two children — daughter Drishti (9) and son Dharmik (6) on Monday evening.
Both the children drowned, but Sunita survived. She was booked for murder based on a complaint lodged by her husband Ajay Makwana, a diamond polisher. However, the exact reason for Sunita’s extreme step was not known, said police.
According to police, Ajay and Sunita were going through a rough patch in their marriage for the past few months. On Monday evening, Sunita informed Ajay that she was going to Rajapara village along with their children to offer prayers at a local temple there.
However, at about 7.30 pm, Ajay got a call from his wife’s mobile number. The caller asked him to rush to Rajapara village. When Ajay reached Rajapara village, he saw his two children lying dead on the bank of the village pond and his wife sitting beside them. “Sunita first threw her kids into the pond and then she herself jumped into the water. The kids drowned but Sunita was saved,” said police.
Ajay is a native of Songadh village near Sihor town of Bhavnagar. He has been living in Bhavnagar for the last few years.
