Recently, a woman in Bengaluru took the heartbreaking and blood-curdling step of murdering her 4-year-old mentally challenged daughter

While one would think that such actions are taken by parents or guardians who are perhaps uneducated, the accused woman in question belongs to medical fraternity herself, and is a doctor by profession.

The spine-chilling incident was caught on CCTV, distressing visuals of which are going viral on social media.

The troubling video shows the accused mother holding her four-year-old daughter in the air and throwing her from the 4^th floor of her residential building. Shockingly enough, not only does the accused woman not flinch, but she is also seen forcefully dropping her daughter from the tragic height.

In a few moments, the accused woman herself climbs the ledge and stands on the edge of iron railing. As she contemplates on jumping and taking her own life, she is spotted by some neighbours.
