A 42-year-old woman allegedly strangled her 11-year-old daughter and attempted suicide after a confrontation with her husband over taking her psychiatric medication in the Kulupwadi area of Borivli East on Thursday night. The woman, who sustained injuries from cutting her wrist with a blade, has been admitted to Shatabdi Hospital. According to Kasturba Marg police, the incident occurred around 8.30 pm when the woman locked herself with her daughter in their bedroom and strangled her with a dupatta after the daughter tried to persuade her to take her medication.
The police revealed that the accused had been undergoing psychiatric treatment for years and often became aggressive with her husband. On Thursday night, when the woman refused to take her medication, her daughter approached her father in the adjoining room and requested him to take a tablet just to demonstrate to her mother. After the father complied, the daughter returned to her mother to convince her to take her medicine, at which point the mother shut the door.
