A shocking incident has come to light from Bidar in Karnataka, where a woman has been arrested for the murder of her 6-year-old stepdaughter, Saanvi. The accused, identified as Radha, might never have been caught if CCTV footage of the incident had not surfaced.
According to district police, the incident took place on August 27 in Adarsh Colony, Bidar town. It was initially reported that a 6-year-old girl had fallen suddenly from the third floor and died. The child’s stepmother told the family and police that she was asleep in her room when the tragedy occurred and had no idea what had happened.
However, her act did not last long. The incident, which occurred on August 27, was captured on a neighbour’s CCTV camera. Two weeks later, when the neighbour reviewed the footage, he was shocked to see the truth. He immediately informed Saanvi’s father, Siddhant, who then lodged a complaint with the police.
On Sunday, police arrested Radha on relevant charges of killing her stepdaughter under sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
