RAJKOT: Depressed that her husband had gone to his native place in MP and wasn’t responding to her calls, a 25-year-old mother of three kids attempted mass suicide on Wednesday morning. She first threw her three minor children into a farm well and jumped in herself. However, while the three kids died, the woman from Khambhalia village in Dhrol taluka of Jamnagar district survived.
According to police, the woman, Mesudi Bhuria, a native of Madhya Pradesh, lives in Khambhalia village with her in-laws and ekes a living working as an agricultural labourer. Her husband Naresh had left for his native village in Madhya Pradesh three months ago and wasn’t communicating with her nor responding to her phone calls. Naresh married Mesudi five years ago and they had three kids.
On Wednesday morning, she threw her three kids — Riya (4), Madhuri (two-and-half-years-old) and her eight-month-old son Kanesh into the farm well. She too jumped into the well while attempting to end their lives but her fall got restricted by an iron pipe in the well and she survived.
Her father-in-law Seniya Bhuria saw the incident and informed villagers about it. Locals called Jamnagar fire brigade who brought the three kids out of the well but they had already died.
“During questioning, the woman told the police that she was tired of waiting for her husband and decided to kill all her three kids and end her life too,” said the police, adding that the woman was booked for murder of her three children.
