The Bhiwandi police have arrested a 23-year-old woman in connection with the murder of her 14-month-old daughter. The cops say the baby was beaten to death allegedly by the stepfather of the woman's husband with whom she was having an affair.

The police said the mother, Jantulfirdos Abdul Kayum Ansari, first tried to pass off the crime as an accident, but the post-mortem report called her bluff. While she has been remanded in police custody till September 10, the killer is yet to be nabbed, they said.

The police said Jantulfirdos lived in a tenement near Alhuda Madrasa behind Apsara Talkies with her husband and daughter. Accused, Rashid Jan mohammed Ansari, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, had come to stay with them two months ago. Jantulfirdos's husband works with a catering firm and would come home once in 15 days.

On Tuesday, Ansari lost his temper as the baby was crying excessively. He violently struck her with a chappal till she died.

N T Rode, senior inspector from Bhiwandi police station said, "She first claimed that the baby had a fall, but the post-mortem report showed injuries on her back. When we questioned her, she revealed the grisly details."

The officer said they suspect Ansari has fled to UP. He added, "Further investigations are on."
