Woman detained in Kancheepuram for allegedly killing newborn son
A 21-year-old woman in Kancheepuram has been detained for allegedly killing her newborn son by throwing him into a well. She had recently given birth at a government hospital and fled the scene afterward. Police found the woman after reports of a "disturbed" individual in the area. She had kept her pregnancy secret, fearing social stigma, and was reportedly in a relationship with a man who cut off contact when she became pregnant. Authorities are now working to identify vulnerable pregnant women to provide support and prevent similar incidents. Police are also searching for the woman's boyfriend, who is believed to have left the area.
