Bijnor: A woman killed her two-month-old son by throwing him in a pond here, following which she was arrested, police said on Sunday.
The accused was identified as Chandani, they said.
The infant's body was found in the bushes near Idgah in Sahaspur, within the Seohara police station area, ASP Dharm Singh Marchal said.
During the investigation, the police found that the two-month-old boy was the son of Chandani and Salim, Marchal said.
