Shanthamma being arrested by KR Pete police
A 65-year-old woman from Karnataka has been arrested for allegedly killing her 10-year-old grandson by drowning him the Hemavati River in Mandya. Disturbing pictures of the little boy’s body, with his arms and legs tied to a rope and lying on the banks of the river have gone viral on social media. The 10-year-old boy Prajwal was a resident of Karnataka’s Krishnarajapete and his body was recovered from the Hemavati River on Tuesday afternoon. According to the KR Pete Town Police, Shanthamma walked into the KR Pete Town Police Station on Tuesday morning and confessed to killing her grandson. “She just walked in and said that she had killed her grandson around 8.30 am. We sent out a search party and by 12 noon, we recovered the boy’s body. Shanthamma has been booked under section 302 of the IPC,” the police added. Shanthamma was taking care of her grandson Prajwal for the last four months after her daughter – the boy’s mother – remarried and moved to Mangaluru. “Shanthamma had been taking care of the boy and for the last four months she used to have arguments with her daughter about her getting remarried. Shanthamma had threatened her daughter that she would kill Prajwal if she did not come back home on multiple occasions,” KR Pete police said. Over a week ago, the mother had allegedly informed Shanthamma during one of their telephonic conversations that she would come back to KR Pete in a couple of months. On Monday evening, Shanthamma went to pick up Prajwal from his school and on their way back, she went towards the river bank. Shanthamma had allegedly come prepared with a rope. “She tied Prajwal’s hands and legs and pushed him inside the river. When she was sure that he was completely submerged in the water, she too tried to end her life. People who were passing by, saw her and rescued her,” the police added.
