The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has granted bail to a woman from Thanjavur district who has been accused of murdering her newborn baby by dumping it in a toilet flush tank at Thanjavur Medical College Hospital in December 2021.
The woman, Priyadharshini, was in a relationship with one Sathish. She gave birth to a baby girl, which she dumped in the toilet flush tank at the trauma care wing of the hospital.
While supervising the cleaning of the toilet a hospital employee found the child dead, and lodged a police complaint. Based on the complaint, the petitioner was booked and later remanded in judicial custody. Priyadharshini’s earlier bail petition was dismissed by the court.
