Madhya Pradesh police rescued a baby who was delivered after his mother committed suicide by hanging herself to death. The baby was found strangled in his mother's sari.
The 36-year-old dead woman has been identified as Laxmi Thakur. She was found hanging from the ceiling of a cowshed in Katani district. Her husband, Santosh, reported about her suicide at around 6.30 am to the police. "When we woke up at around 6 am, Laxmi was missing. I searched around for her and found her hanging in the nearby cowshed," Santosh said. He first saw his wife hanging and informed the corporators and his neighbours.
Laxmi was nine months' pregnant and she had four other children, including a 16-year-old girl.
Sub-inspector Kavita Sahni reached the spot first after receiving a message from the police control room. She cleaned the baby and placed him a sheet below his mother's body until doctors came and cut the umbilical cord. Madhya Pradesh police then shifted him to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a government hospital in town.
According to reports by TOI Kavita said, “We got a call around 7.13am that a woman has committed suicide by hanging herself in Katni town. I reached the spot quickly. While examining her body I found the baby trapped inside Laxmi's sari. He was alive. I called for immediate medical assistance. After cutting the umbilical cord and separating him, we brought mother's body down for an autopsy.'
“It is difficult to find out the exact timing of her suicide and the delivery. But it is for sure that the bay was born because of hanging,' said Vivek Lal, ASP Katni.
