Mathura woman strangles 3-year-old son while talking to 'lover'; booked
A 32-year-old woman, Ruchi Jindal, allegedly strangled her three-year-old son in Chhauli village, Mathura, on June 28, 2026.
The child was crying while she was on a call with her alleged lover.
The woman initially claimed the child died after receiving polio drops; the family buried the body without suspicion.
The husband, Krishna Murari Gupta, overheard her narrating the incident to her lover on July 27, leading to a police case.
The brother-in-law, Govind Gupta, filed a complaint; police registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and plan to exhume the body for post-mortem.
