IDUKKI: A couple was arrested from Ayarkkunnam for abandoning a newborn at Pannimattam. As per reports, Amal Kumar, 31, of Thethuruthil house at Ayarkkunnam in Kottayam and his 26-year-old wife Aparna have a two-year-old child in their relationship. However, the couple was not in good terms and was separated. Meanwhile, Aparna got into a relationship with a Peruvanthanam native and became pregnant.
Amal came to know about this, but he was not ready to divorce Aparna considering the future of their two-year-old child. Aparna told Amal that her lover had committed suicide and he was no more. Amal made an agreement with Aparna that if she abandons the child after giving birth to it, he would consider taking her back into his life. Aparna started feeling labour pain and she called Amal to take her to the hospital. However, while heading to a hospital in Thodupuzha, Aparna gave birth inside the car. Following this, the duo bought a pair of scissor from a nearby pharmacy and Aparna herself cut the umbilical cord, changed her dress inside the car, removed the bloodstains from the vehicle and abandoned the child in the Pannimattam area near Thodupuzha.
The incident came to light when the police retrieved the CCTV footage from a camera put up near the area. The police came to know about the registered number of the vehicle and found out its owner. From him, the cops identified Amal and Aparna, who were taken into custody by the police.
