Infant deaths in Kerala: Woman confesses to murder after man approaches police with remains
Thrissur: A case involving the deaths and secret burials of two newborns has come to light in Thrissur district after a man approached police with the remains of an infant. The incident has resulted in the arrest and interrogation of a 25-year-old man, Bhavin, and a woman, Anisha, both of whom have admitted to being the parents of the deceased children.
The developments began late Saturday night when Bhavin, reportedly intoxicated and agitated after a dispute with Anisha, arrived at Pudukkad police station carrying bones he claimed belonged to a child he had fathered. He stated that Anisha had avoided his calls and that he suspected she was preparing for marriage with someone else.
According to police, Bhavin and Anisha met in 2020 via social media. The first child, a male infant, was born on November 6, 2021, at Anisha's home. Initially, Anisha claimed the baby had died due to umbilical cord complications and that she buried the body in the compound of her residence in Nooluvalli, Vellikkulangara.
Eight months later, Bhavin reportedly retrieved the remains, allegedly for religious rites, though police believe he kept the bones to exert pressure on Anisha as the relationship deteriorated.
The second child was born on April 29, 2024, also at Anisha’s residence. According to police, Anisha later confessed to suffocating the baby immediately after birth to prevent it from crying. The body was then transported on a scooter to Bhavin’s home in Amballur, where it was buried in the garden behind the house.
Thrissur Rural SP B. Krishnakumar and Chalakkudy DySP Bijukumar supervised the investigation. Forensic experts confirmed that the recovered bones belonged to newborn infants. Both individuals admitted to their involvement during interrogation, and DNA testing has been initiated to verify parentage.
Police are continuing their investigation to determine whether any other individuals were aware of the births, deaths, or burials. Both Bhavin and Anisha were taken to their respective residences on Sunday for evidence recovery, during which Anisha led officers to the burial site of the first child. Bhavin showed investigators the location where the second child was buried.
The case drew widespread media attention, with large crowds and press crews gathering outside Pudukkad police station as the news broke on Sunday morning. Both suspects had their faces covered when escorted by police.
Anisha’s mother, when questioned by reporters, stated that she was unaware of the alleged murders. She acknowledged knowing about her daughter's relationship with Bhavin but believed it had ended due to family objections.

HC orders preservation of Sunjay Kapur's assets on plea by Karisma Kapoors' children
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed preservation of the assets of late Sunjay Kapur, ruling that all "suspicious circumstances" raised by the industrialist's children from his marriage with actor Karisma Kapoor have to be completely removed by his third wife, Priya Kapur, before the acceptance of his purported last will.
Justice Jyoti Singh passed the interim order on an application filed by Karisma Kapoor's children to restrain Priya Kapur from alienating their father's assets, reportedly worth Rs 30,000 crore.
The interim application was filed in a suit by the children, challenging their late father's purported will of his assets.
"Having heard and on examination of the material on record, I have the considered view that all legitimate suspicious circumstances raised by the plaintiffs will have to be completely removed by defendant number one (Priya Kapur) before the document is accepted as the last will," the judge said.
"Plaintiffs have made out a prima-facie case that the assets which are subject matter need to be protected, preserved, pending disposal of the suit," she added.
Justice Singh ordered that the equity shareholdings in the three Indian companies of the deceased cannot be changed and also restrained the disposal of his personal effects, including artwork.
The court said if the assets are not preserved and Priya Kapur ultimately fails to prove the validity and genuineness of the will, the deceased's children from his marriage with Karisma Kapoor -- his second wife -- and his mother Rani Kapur would be deprived of their legitimate shares.
"I have restrained from alienating, transferring, pledging, liquidating or in any other manner changing the equity shareholdings in the three Indian companies. I have restrained from withdrawing the PF amount. I have restrained from withdrawing monies from the three accounts except to the extent of discharging liabilities towards the children," the judge said.
The court clarified that it has not passed the order with respect to immovable foreign assets.
A detailed copy of the verdict is awaited.
Sunjay Kapur died on June 12, 2025, after collapsing during a polo match in England. He had reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.
