A 30-year-old woman was arrested for killing her 3-year-old son.

Navita Meena smothered her three-year-old son, hours before she texted her husband saying that he will regret his decision for the rest of his life.

According to the police, the woman had planned to commit suicide by jumping off a high rise after killing both of her sons.

The woman told the police that her marriage was falling apart even as the last round of reconciliation had failed on Thursday. Navita had earlier filed a dowry harassment case against her husband in the women's police station on July 23.

According to additional DCP (West) Bajrang Singh,"Later in the night, Navita put a pillow on her younger son and murdered him. She then began making plans to kill herself by jumping off the building with her elder son. She woke him up and took him upstairs on the pretext of showing him the moon. But she got emotional and fumbled at the last moment and changed her plans."

When Navita came back to the room with her elder son, she started trembling with fear that Divyansh, her younger son was dead. She immediately called her family and told them that Divyansh had fainted and she was taking him to the hospital.

On Friday morning, Navita quietly took her son’s body to a crematorium.

When Navita was at the crematorium, her husband Rajesh came to know and he called the police. When the police reached the site, Navita broke down and confessed to having committed the crime.

Bhankrota police took the child’s body into the custody and detained Navita.

Both Navita and Rajesh have been living separately for the past several years ever since she had filed for divorce. On Thursday, the couple had a final counselling session in which she had hoped that Rajesh will apologise to her, but he didn’t. She walked out of the police station with her two sons and began to chalk the final plans, he said, adding that police had recovered a suicide note in which she had blamed Rajesh for ruining her life.

Rajesh had suspected that his son was murdered because the kids had met him at the police station the same day, Singh said.
