A 24-year-old woman died after an illegal abortion was performed at her home in Pune, Maharashtra. In connection with the incident, authorities have arrested her husband and father-in-law, as well as her mother-in-law. Investigations found that the four-month-old foetus had been buried on the family's property. A private doctor who was summoned to do the surgery is currently under police investigation, reported ANI.
According to the report, the Pune woman, who had been married to the accused since 2017, was pregnant for the third time and had two children, a daughter and a son. Authorities believe the family prepared for the abortion at home after realising the foetus was female.
