It's a fact that fathers are really close to their daughters, but this story would make you wonder if that still holds true for some! A drunk Mumbai father strangled his 45-day-old baby (Yogita Bhande) to death, after he kicked out his wife out of the house in a fit of rage.
What happened on that fateful night
When Vaishnavi Bhande (name of the mother) came back home on May 15 2016 she found the baby girl to be still and had to movement at all. However, she saw blood trickling out of her little one's nose!
But there was more in store for Vaishnavi as her husband (Kailash Bhande) threatened her to not let his secret out or else she would pay the same price! However, Vaishnavi came out in the open when she was visiting her father's house in Akola this month. When Vaishnavi's father came to know about the whole incident he was furious and got Vaishali back to Virar and filed an FIR against his son-in-law.
The police then called the accused and talked him into coming to the police station, saying that his wife had come looking for him. Kailash fell into the trap and the police handcuffed him the moment he stepped into the police station.
The police have booked him under sections sections 302 (murder), 201(destroying evidence) and 182 (false information to public servant) of the Indian Penal Code.
Kailash never wanted that baby girl
People say that Kailash was never happy after the baby girl was born and would be angry quite often. Everyday he would come home drunk and would vent his anger on his wife and in-laws and the baby.
He was drunk on May 15 as well and as usual was hurling abuses at his wife. However, that day he kicked Vaishnavi out of the house and then went and strangled the baby. When Yogita's body was taken to the health centre in Virar, Kailash made up a story and said that the baby had choked while breastfeeding. He further gave a written note and said that they don't seek an autopsy report.
After that he took his wife to Churchgate station and said that they would go to Akola for some days. However, he left her there and never returned. He was absconding all this while.
"Since it is a murder, we have written to the tehsildar (Vasai), asking for their permission and presence to exhume the body, which will be later sent for postmortem. The death certificate indicates choking as cause of death, which is not the entire truth. There was blood oozing from the nose of the child," senior police inspector Younis Shaikh of Virar police station told the Mumbai Mirror.
