A heartbreaking incident has surfaced in Bengaluru, where a mother murdered her own child due to the child’s autism. Ramya, a 35-year-old mother, shocked everyone when she walked into the police station to confess her crime. The police quickly arrested her on charges of murdering her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. The child's father, Venkatesh, works as a software engineer in Norway.
Ramya and Venkatesh have been married for 11 years and are parents to twin daughters. While one daughter is healthy and attends school, the other was diagnosed with autism, a condition that affects a child’s development and can lead to challenges in communication and physical and mental development.
Ramya, overwhelmed by her daughter's condition, decided to take a drastic step. In a moment of despair, she strangled her daughter. After the murder, she took the child's body to KIMS Hospital for a postmortem examination.
DCP Lokesh Bharamappa provided insights into the ongoing investigation. He stated, "On Thursday, a murder case involving a three-and-a-half-year-old child was reported at the Subramanyapur police station. Our investigation revealed that the mother strangled her daughter. The child's developmental delays had caused significant frustration for the mother, culminating in this tragic incident. The accused is now in custody, and we are currently questioning her."
Autism is a neurological disorder that affects a child's development. Children with autism often struggle with communication and may exhibit physical and mental challenges. They might be less talkative, have reduced physical activity, and find it difficult to understand many things that come naturally to others. This condition requires patience and specialized care, which can be overwhelming for parents.
