Apparently upset over her husband's second marriage, a woman killed her four children and tried to commit suicide near Vadodara on Friday, police said. Bachliben Rathwa (aged around 30), a resident of Jer village, threw her four children--three daughters and a son-- in a well and then jumped into it, Police Sub-Inspector RM Vasava told PTI.
While the woman, a tribal, was saved by villagers, her kids, aged between one and nine years, died, he said, adding she has been admitted to a nearby hospital. The village, about 150km from Vadodara, is located in Chhotaudepur taluka of Vadodara district. Bachliben's husband, Kishan, had got married for a second time a fortnight ago.
She was upset over her husband's decision and this may have led her to commit the crime and try to take her own life, police said.
