Aditi, Sooryan Namboothiri, Kalki
Alappuzha: In an important development to the suicide of a woman in Chengannur after poisoning her baby to death, the family of the deceased has come up with allegations against her husband’s father.
Adithi and her 5-month old baby Kalki was found dead at her parental house in Aala in Chengannur. Initial reports suggested that the woman poisoned her baby to death and ended her life because of the mental agony over the death of her husband Sooryan due to Covid-19.
Meanwhile, Sooryan’s mother also succumbed to the virus. Adithi and the child were found dead exactly two months after Sooryan’s death. The family of the deceased woman has released a video of Adithi and a suicide note. She alleges mental torture from Sooryan’s father in those.
According to Adithi’s father, his daughter was forced to kill herself due to her father-in-law’s ill-treatment. Based on his fresh complaint, Chengannur police have initiated an investigation. The video reportedly is about the ordeal she underwent. In the video, Adithi alleges that timely treatment was not given for both Sooryan and her mother.
