In a shocking case, a couple tried to kill their two-day-old granddaughter by burying her alive on the outskirts of Utkoor town in Mahabubnagar district on Thursday morning. But, miraculously, the infant was found and is now recuperating in a hospital.
Abdul Rehman and Kusoora Begum whose family has seen the birth of seven daughters couldn't take it anymore. Accordingly, they hatched a plan, dug a pit on the roadside and buried the little one. A farmer Ramu, on his way to fields, saw some stray dogs trying to dig a pit from which an infant’s hand was sticking out. He dug open the pit and found the baby girl still alive and crying. He alerted local SI Venkat Reddy who, in turn, shifted the girl child to a nearby hospital.
As the hospital lacked proper facilities, the baby was shifted to Narayanpur area hospital. When her condition worsened, she was shifted to the Mahbubnagar district hospital and she is now out of danger.
Narayanpet DSP Mohan Rao said that a case has been registered against the infant's grandparents and they have been arrested by the Utkoor police. Rehman said that he has seven granddaughters and it will be a burden for him to take care of the child of his second daughter Maharoon Bi, whose husband has deserted her. Two months after the marriage, Maharoon's husband Gani Saheb left her and fled from the town, leaving the family in disarray.
During interrogation Rehman revealed that he had buried the infant late on Wednesday night, the police said.
