Mumbai: A woman and her teen boyfriend were arrested on Monday in connection with the rape and murder of her two-and-half-year-old daughter, a Mumbai police official said.
The child was brought to a government hospital on Sunday night with injuries on her private parts, after which doctors there alerted police, the official said. The child later died.
“The 19-year-old accused had sex with the 30-year-old woman and then raped the child in her presence. The woman, however, told doctors the child was suffering from epilepsy,” the Malwani police station official said.
