Mangala Borse (55) was arrested by the Badlapur (East) police after she admitted to having dumped her granddaughter Ketki Hire in a nullah in the Ganesh Ghat area of Badlapur, and later cooking up a story that a woman passing by in an auto had abducted the child.
The police started suspecting the woman after an autopsy showed that the child had drowned around 6 am. Her grandmother, however, had told them that Ketki was kidnapped around 9 am, while the two of them were on their way back to her daughter Mayuri&rsquo;s home.
&ldquo;Upon being questioned, she confessed that she had killed Ketki, who had cerebral palsy. She said she was worried about how her daughter Mayuri and son-in-law Kapil would care for the child, as both were working. The child used to spend most of the day with the woman, who said she was taunted by neighbours,&rdquo; said Ishwar Andhalkar, senior police inspector of Badlapur police station.
&ldquo;We have learnt that she attempted suicide in the Ambernath lock-up, by stuffing her saree into her mouth, and was found unconscious by a constable, who rushed her to the nearby Central Hospital,&rdquo; said Andhalkar.
