A shocking incident was reported from Maharashtra’s Pune, where a 24-year-old pregnant woman died after a clandestine abortion procedure was performed at her home.

The police have arrested the woman's husband and father-in-law. The deceased's mother-in-law was also booked in connection with the case.

The investigation revealed that the four-month-old foetus was buried in the family's farm.

A private doctor, who was called to perform the abortion, is also under scrutiny, police said.

The woman had married the accused husband in 2017 and already had two children, a girl and a boy, before becoming pregnant for the third time.

Police suspect that the family arranged the abortion upon learning the foetus was female.

"On Sunday, the woman's condition worsened due to heavy bleeding. She was taken to the hospital the next day but died en route," an officer from the Indapur police station said.

The FIR was filed based on the complaint of the deceased woman's brother and her husband and father-in-law were arrested.

The foetus was exhumed from the farm and sent for a postmortem.

Police have registered the case at the Indapur Police station of Pune Rural Police under sections 91, 90, and 85 of the BNS, and further investigation is underway in the case.
