Bengaluru, India: In a fit of anger, the mother dragged her 9-year-old daughter to the roof and threw her over the edge.

When the child survived the fall, the mother dragged her back up three storeys and pushed her off the terrace once again. This time, the girl died.
The murder took place on Sunday afternoon in a south Bengaluru neighbourhood, reports NDTV.
Swati Sarkar, who has been arrested for killing her daughter, Ashika, reportedly told the police that the child was mentally challenged and that after killing her, she had planned to commit suicide.
Shocked neighbours who witnessed the killing tied Sarkar to an electric pole till the police arrived.

Sarkar, about 30 years old, was married to a techie but they separated at the beginning of this year.
