Ahmedabad : The Odhav police on Friday arrested a woman, Usha Lodhi, for allegedly strangling her six-year-old daughter, Arushi, after the child refused to help her pack plastic spoons. The incident occurred at their home on Tuesday shortly after the girl returned from school.
According to police inspector P N Zinzuvadiya of Odhav police station, Usha was booked under charges of murder and voluntarily causing hurt. The complaint was filed by her second husband, Amitkumar Lodhi. In his statement, Amitkumar said he married Usha after separating from his first wife. Usha had two children from her previous marriage—Arushi and a 12-year-old son, Ankit. Amitkumar’s daughter from his first marriage, Anu, was also living with them. Detailing the incident, the complainant said Arushi, a Class I student, returned from school around noon on Wednesday.
“Later in the afternoon, Usha called and told me that Arushi fell asleep on the floor and wasn’t conscious. When I rushed home, I found her unresponsive,” he stated. Arushi was taken to a private hospital, where doctors referred them to Singarva Govt Hospital, where she was declared brought dead. Amitkumar stated in his complaint that Usha had confessed to slapping Arushi 2-3 times after she refused to help her pack plastic spoons. In a fit of rage, she allegedly strangled the child, who lost consciousness. Usha panicked when Arushi did not wake up. TNN
