Pune:
A newborn girl died when she was thrown off the second floor of a building in Pune on Saturday night, allegedly by her 19-year-old mother.
The police believe the woman wanted to cover up her illicit relationship with a Latur-based youth who died a few days ago.
Laxmi Bharat Ingle of Latur was booked for murder by the Hinjewadi police after the incident was reported by Somnath Mandlik, a resident of the locality.
Laxmi, who was staying in a rented flat in a two-storey building, was seven months pregnant and delivered a baby girl on Saturday. She threw her newborn from the second floor, and the infant fell into the bathroom of a house nearby, where Mandlik was standing.
In the meantime, Laxmi's brother reached her place to give her some money. Mistaking him for her boyfriend, angry residents beat him up, said the police.
Laxmi was admitted to the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital.
