AHMEDABAD: Vatva police officials arrested a woman for killing a five-year-old girl child in Vatva in November last year. The arrest was made after post-mortem reports clearly suggested physical force as cause of death.

According to Vatva police officials, Shabana Chhipa, 28, a resident of Al Saba Park, had reported death of her boyfriend Imran's daughter Aksha at her residence. As per her statement, she was asked to babysit as Imran had gone out for two days. She had said that she found the baby on the floor with her mouth frothing. She took her to a nearby hospital where she died.

"Imran found the death suspicious. He informed police after which an accidental death was reported and her body was sent for post-mortem. The doctors sent viscera for the testing to forensic science experts. We got the report on Saturday that suggested internal ruptures caused death. It could not have been done by falling off a bed. Thus, we booked Shabana for the murder as she might have beaten her up," said a Vatva police official.

Investigators said that Shabana had an extra-marital affair with Imran, a divorcee, before the incident took place. She has a son Rehan from her marriage.
