7-year-old girl found dead with throat slit, mother blames ex-husband, his kin

Bulandshahr: A seven-year-old girl was found with her throat slit at Joligarh village under Agauta police station. Her child’s mother had gone out for some work and on her return found her daughter lying in a pool of blood.

In her complaint, the woman, Shabnam, has named seven people, including her former husband and his relatives, for the murder. She alleged that her daughter was killed because her ex-in laws wanted to evict her from her house she was living in.

The couple was married in 2010. Shabnam was given triple talaq by her husband in 2014. She had filed a petition in the Supreme Court on May 7, 2018 against the divorce. Since then, Shabnam has been living in her ex-husband's house with her daughter.

Surendranath Tiwari, SP (City), said a forensic team was sent at the spot immediately after getting the information of the incident. Further investigations are on.
