A woman in Chandnagar area of Baramati district in Pune killed her one-and-a-half-month-old girl child as she wanted a boy. Two months back, the woman had gone to her mother’s place for her delivery and she delivered a girl child for the third time.

Upset about having another girl child, the woman, on November 25, pretended that her daughter has disappeared. She told the family that she was sleeping in the afternoon and the child was missing when she woke up. The family approached the police and filed a missing complaint, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror.
