A woman in India confesses to drowning four children over two years, citing jealousy, after earlier deaths were ruled accidental.

A 34-year-old woman, Poonam, has been arrested in Haryana’s Panipat district in connection with the killings of four children over two years, including her six-year-old niece Vidhi, whose body was found submerged in a plastic tub during a wedding in Naultha village. Police say she confessed to drowning Vidhi and three other children—her son, a niece, and a cousin—using the same method, allegedly due to jealousy over their appearance. Earlier deaths had been ruled accidental, but her confession prompted a reinvestigation. Authorities are probing her mental state and the motive behind the crimes, which involved luring victims into storerooms and submerging them in water. The case remains under active investigation.
