TRICHY: A woman gifted her newborn to a stranger after she got estranged from her husband. Strange it may seem, but this is what a 20-year-old woman did. Moreover, she made the false claim that her 17-day-old male baby died soon after its birth. The woman belonging to thevanniyar community spilled the beans to the Arumbavur police in Perambalur district after her husband, a dalit, approached the police. On Saturday, the baby was traced and handed over to its father.
The love story of K Shanti and D Ranjit Kumar soured within a year of their marriage. It is alleged that Shanti resorted to these steps only to severe ties with her 21-year-old husband who she had married in October last year after a long courtship that started during their school days. She admitted that the baby was 'gifted' to an old man from Chennai. Shanti belongs to M G Puram and Ranjit is from Goundampalayam in Perambalur district. After wedding, Ranjit obtained a job at a rice mill in Goundampalayam itself.
The relation soured after Shanti became nine months pregnant and went to her mother's house. On September 25, Shanti delivered the baby at Cuddalore government hospital. As Shanti wanted to keep her whereabouts unknown to her husband she went to Cuddalore where she had a relative. However, Ranjit traced her and found her with the baby at the hospital on September 28 and returned. The following day, Shanti was discharged from the hospital.
During questioning, Shanti revealed that she gifted the baby to one Jaffar Hussein, 77, through the mediation of a hospital security personnel, Jesudoss. Jesudoss has also admitted to his role.
After Jaffar was traced, he handed over the baby to Arumbavur police inspector, Prakash, on Saturday morning.
Later, the baby was given to Perambalur District Child Welfare Committee (DCWC) which in turn, handed over the baby to his father with the condition the child will be monitored by the committee. Shanti stuck to her decision not to live with her husband, despite the DCWC members persuading her to go with him during a six-hour meeting on Saturday. "It is intriguing why Shanti suddenly changed her mind and refused to live with her husband. Our six-hour-long effort to find the truth did not bear any fruit as she kept mum except saying that she was not interested in him anymore," said DCWC chairman Mohammad Hussein Babu. Mystery deepened when we came to know that she had even named the baby "Sanjit" (after Santhi and Ranjit), the DCWC chief said.
Inspector Prakash said that a case cannot be registered against Jaffar as Shanti gave the baby to him out of free will and he returned the child anyway.
