​A 36-year-old woman killed her seven-year-old differently-abled daughter by throwing her twice from their rented flat on the third floor at Jaraganahalli in JP Nagar on Sunday afternoon.



According to witnesses, the girl survived the initial fall with serious injuries but succumbed after her mother rushed down, scooped her up and went back up to their flat only to throw her down once again in front of petrified neighbours.
Residents of the area rounded up the woman and tied her to an electric pole before police arrived at the scene and took her into custody.

The accused was working as a teacher till about two years ago and had separated from her husband, a business analyst with a private firm in Indiranagar. Police claimed that the woman seemed mentally disturbed and told them that her daughter was restless and she decided to throw her down to calm her.
Residents in the building heard a loud thud shortly after 3:30 pm on Sunday and rushed to the spot to find Shreya Sarkar, 7, badly injured and lying in a pool of blood. Her mother Sathi Sarkar, alias Swathi, 36, came rushing down.
Initially, the onlookers thought she was coming to administer first aid to the injured child. But they were in for a rude shock when the woman took the child back upstairs and threw her down again killing her on the spot.
A woman living in the same building claimed that, initially, they thought the girl lost her footing and had an accidental fall. She also added that they asked Swathi why she was not taking her daughter to the hospital and Swathi shouted at them claiming that the child was mentally unstable.
