o a Hindu man
A shocking case has come to light from a place called Chelur in Karnataka’s Chikkaballapur district. In this case, a woman named Mehboobi has been arrested for murdering her 40-day-old grandson. The police claim that her motive for killing her grandson was her anger at her granddaughter marrying a Hindu boy against her wishes.
The incident took place on 24th December, 2025, at Mehboobi’s residence in Chelur. When the newborn baby boy was staying with his mother at her grandmother’s house after birth.
Soon after the baby’s death, Mehboobi told relatives that her grandson had developed breathing problems and had died. Trusting her explanation, the family performed the last rites without suspecting anything suspicious.
But soon after that, the mother of the baby started suspecting that something was fishy. According to police sources, “The mother of the deceased child started suspecting something after noticing Mehboobi’s behaviour. She then approached the Chelur police and filed a complaint seeking a proper investigation.
After the complaint was filed, the police initiated an investigation into the matter and obtained permission to exhume the baby’s body for a post-mortem examination. The body was examined in the presence of officials and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for further investigation.
The FSL report revealed that the infant had died due to suffocation and not because of any illness. The police officials stated that Mehboobi’s statements were contradictory during the investigation, which led them to suspect her of the crime.
During the investigation of the case, the officials found that Mehboobi was unhappy because her granddaughter had married a Hindu man in a love marriage. Mehboobi was also unhappy about the birth of the child from that interfaith marriage.
Investigators stated that the baby was suffocated while sleeping inside the house, and the story of breathing complications was used to hide the crime. Mehboobi has been arrested and presented before a court, which has sent her to judicial custody. The police are still investigating to ascertain if anyone else knew about the incident or helped her conceal it.
