Balaghat (Madhya Pradesh): A 3-month-old baby girl was allegedly strangled to death by her own mother in Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district on Thursday.

When the grandmother checked the child, she found that the baby’s body was cold. On asking what happened, Dipali admitted that she had pressed the baby’s neck, causing her death.
