Odisha Woman Sentenced to Life Imprisonment for Killing Infant Son

In a tragic case, a court in Mayurbhanj district has sentenced a 30-year-old woman to life imprisonment for killing her one-and-a-half-month-old son. The incident occurred following a domestic dispute with her husband.

Rairangpur Additional District and Sessions Judge, V Sujata, delivered the verdict on Friday, convicting Parbati Naik for the heinous crime. According to the prosecution, Naik, in a fit of rage after a quarrel with her husband, took the life of their infant son.

The court, after examining the evidence and hearing the arguments, found her guilty and sentenced her to life in prison. This case has drawn widespread attention and sorrow from the local community, highlighting the devastating consequences of domestic violence and family disputes.

Naik’s defense argued for leniency, citing emotional distress, but the court ruled that the crime warranted the life sentence. The judgment serves as a reminder of the need for addressing domestic issues through counseling and mediation to prevent such tragic outcomes.
