Tumkuru: Twins die as new mother made to stay in makeshift hut outside house after delivery
Case registered against husband, parents for ill-treating new mother
Tumakuru: In Tumakuru, Karnataka, a tragic incident has come to light where an FIR has been filed against three individuals from Mallenahalli village for their role in the death of twin infants. The Kora Police Station lodged the complaint on Thursday, accusing the parents and husband of the woman, who belonged to the Kadugolla community in the district, of keeping the new mother in a makeshift grass hut on the village outskirts shortly after her delivery. This ill-treatment and neglect resulted in the unfortunate demise of the newborn twins.
The matter caught the attention of authorities, and Noorunnisa, a civil court judge and member-secretary of Tumakuru District Legal Services Authority, was directed by the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority and Karnataka High Court to investigate the situation. On Thursday, Noorunnisa visited Mallenahalli and met with the affected woman, who had been forced to endure the harsh conditions of the tumbledown hut for about a week, even after the passing of her twins amid torrential rains. The judge also engaged in discussions with the family members and locals, explaining the legal implications of their actions and emphasizing the importance of proper care and support for new mothers.
Taking swift action, Noorunnisa instructed the local officials accompanying her to file cases against individuals whose actions contributed to the tragic deaths of the newborn children. Following her instructions and based on a complaint filed by the Tumakuru taluk Women and Child Development Department official, the Kora Police Station registered an FIR against the husband and parents of the woman.
