3 year old died after she was put in jail with her mother
A three-year-old girl died in Kalaburagi, Karnataka because she was imprisoned along with her mother. The mother of the little girl was put behind bars over a clash and along with her, the girl was sent to jail.
The child’s health started deteriorating in jail and she was sent to GIMS hospital, where she breathed her last.
On Sunday hundreds of people gathered outside the local police station near Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Kalaburagi to protest over the girl’s death.
“A woman was arrested in a case and was jailed with her child in Jewargi police station. The child got sick and was sent to the hospital where she died. A probe is on,” said Kalaburagi SP, Simi Mariam George.
Ajay Singh, Jewargi Congress MLA who is also protesting over the girl’s death said, “A fight erupted between two groups on December 30, during Gram Panchayat election results. The people from our party was put in jail under non-bailable sections of laws. Police put BJP people under bailable offense and they got bail at the station itself.”
He added, “On December 31, police arrested women and children. On Saturday a three-year-old was killed. I am holding the police responsible for this. We want inquiry in this case.”
Police have assured that they will enquire with fair means and will soon punish the culprits.
