He has been remanded to police custody.” (Representational) A three-year-old girl was brutally beaten to death allegedly by her mother’s 33-year-old partner. Police said the man resented the child because she was born to the woman from her relationship with another man.
The incident took place in Ambegaon Budruk area between April 13 and April 15. The girl’s mother registered a First Information Report at Bharti Vidyapeeth police station late on Saturday. According to the FIR, the man slapped and hit the girl multiple times during the two days of physical abuse. He banged her head against the wall several times, leading to her death. Police have arrested the man who works as a driver.
Officials said the couple had been together for the past few months. “The woman had this three-year- old girl from her previous relationship when she herself was a minor. She has been living with the accused for the past few months. Our preliminary probe suggests that the accused resented the child since she was born out of a previous relationship,” an officer said.
