Belagavi: The Kittur police have arrested a couple for allegedly killing their newborn in Ambadgatti village of Kittur taluk. The accused have been identified as Mahabaleshwar Rudrappa Kamoji (31) and Simran Maulasab Manikabai (22).
On March 5, the body of a newborn girl was found in a garbage pit near a house in Ambadgatti. During the investigation, police discovered that Simran had been in a relationship with Mahabaleshwar for three years. She had become pregnant, but her family remained unaware due to her body size.
On March 5, when she went into labour, she delivered the baby girl in a bathroom without medical assistance, following YouTube videos for guidance. Mahabaleshwar, her partner, reportedly assisted her over a video call. To conceal the birth, the couple allegedly wrapped the infant in plastic and discarded the body in a garbage pit.
Belagavi Superintendent of Police Dr. Bhimashankar Guled confirmed the arrests, stating that both accused have been remanded in judicial custody.
