Rajkot Girl’s Death: Mother Confesses to Throwing 2-Year-Old Daughter from Fifth Floor

A two-year-old girl’s death after falling from the fifth floor of a residential society on Kuwadwa Road in Rajkot has taken a disturbing turn, with police investigation pointing to the child’s mother, identified as Parineeta, as the alleged killer. According to the report, she confessed during police questioning that she threw her daughter from the building following marital disputes and issues involving other relationships. Police are continuing their investigation into the case.

Mother Allegedly Pretended to Faint Before Media

The incident occurred on the evening of October 12. Two days later, on October 14, Parineeta spoke to the media and described how she had supposedly discovered the child’s fall.

She claimed she was in the bathroom when she heard a voice calling “Mummy, Mummy”. After coming out, she said, she asked people nearby whether the child was there. She then went to the fifth floor and saw that a child had fallen.

During the media interaction, the woman allegedly pretended to faint two or three times, according to the report, in an apparent attempt to avoid suspicion.

Four-Foot Wall Raised Questions About the Fall

The girl, aged two years and four months, died after falling from the fifth floor of the society. Investigators noted that a wall about four feet high stood at the spot where she fell, raising questions about whether the toddler could have climbed over it on her own.

The circumstances prompted family members to suspect that someone had picked up the child and thrown her down. A team from Rajkot’s B-Division Police Station reached the scene and began investigating.

Police Question 14 People, Check CCTV Footage

Police Inspector G.R. Chauhan and his team questioned 14 people, including neighbours, and examined technical evidence as part of the investigation. CCTV footage from the residential society was also checked.

The mother initially claimed that someone else had thrown the child from the building. However, police said she later broke down during questioning and allegedly admitted to throwing her daughter herself.

According to the report, police are planning to have the girl’s father lodge the formal complaint as the investigation proceeds.
