Principal District Judge of Nalgonda, M.V. Ramesh, on Thursday convicted a tribal couple, Ramavath Jayaram and Nagamani, for murder of their newborn girl, and awarded them life sentence and ₹5,000 penalty each.
The incident occurred in February 2017, and the couple had tried to bluff officials saying the newborn died of illness. But a child welfare official’s initiative in petitioning the Gudipally police expressing suspicion over the death led to launch of investigation.
According to officials who investigated the case, the baby was third girl child to the couple from Padamati Thanda of Pedda Adiserlapally in Devarakonda. Their second child died due to illness by the time, and they had been expecting a boy.
