Tragic Incident Unfolds In Dhakhnumajra Village
The grim occurrence took place in Dhakhnumajra village located in Baddi, Solan district. Police apprehended the mother on charges of murder following the tragedy.

Father Left For Shop When The Assault Escalated
Roshan Lal, a resident of Nandgaon in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, lives in a rented accommodation in Dhakhnumajra along with his family. On Monday morning, his wife was reportedly in an aggressive state and vented her fury on their eight-year-old daughter. During this ordeal, the accused mother withheld food from the child and subjected her to physical abuse. The young girl later informed her father about the beating and mentioned that she had not been given any milk, prompting her to ask him for biscuits.
Following the request, the father stepped out toward a nearby local shop to buy biscuits for the child. Around that time, a vegetable vendor passing by called out to inform him that his wife was beating the child inside their room. Upon rushing back to the room, the father discovered his daughter lying unconscious on the floor. On Monday, the father rushed the injured child to a hospital, and upon receiving information from medical authorities, the Baddi police immediately initiated a formal inquiry.
The arrested woman has been identified as Poonam, a native of Nandgaon village in Uttar Pradesh. The couple had two daughters, with Deepika being the elder sibling. Following the incident, the victim's body was transferred to AIIMS Bilaspur to complete the post-mortem formalities. Baddi SP Vinod Dhiman issued necessary directives to the investigating officers and staff involved in the case. Law enforcement personnel are thoroughly examining all circumstances and triggers surrounding the event, and a murder case has been registered against the woman based on the formal statement provided by the child's father.
