Maharashtra: Police files murder case against dead woman for killing her two children

Police have filed a murder case against the mother nearly two years after a woman and her two children were discovered dead in their house outside of Mumbai.

An official from the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar police said they booked the dead mother for murder after receiving the autopsy reports. The 47-year-old woman, Nasreen Waghu, and her children Sadnaj (20) and Harsh (13) were found dead in their home at Naya Nagar in Mira Road on September 7, 2021.

The police initially registered a case of accidental death and sent the bodies for post-mortem. The official said they recently received the autopsy reports which showed that Nasreen’s children were strangled. Nasreen consumed some pills to end her own life, the official said.

Based on the autopsy reports, the police on Tuesday registered a case against Nasreen for murder, he said. The motive behind the crime is still not established and a probe is underway, he added.
