An unsettling incident took place in Madhya Pradesh's Indore where woman was arrested on Thursdayfor allegedly killing her 8-month-old daughter. As per the reports she killed her by drowning in a tank due to a dispute with her in-laws.  Assistant Commissioner of Police Shivendu Joshi reported that a girl's body was discovered in an underground water tank at a house within the Dwarkapuri police station limits on Wednesday.

"After the family expressed suspicion, we questioned the child's mother, Varsha (26), who gave contradictory statements," said the ACP. "During a detailed interrogation, she confessed to the crime.  She placed the child in the water tank, closed the lid, and kept a motor pump on top of it. She then told her husband that the child had gone missing and even pretended to search for her."
