Panipat child murder case: The wedding hall was resonating with happiness and drums, but in Naultha village of Panipat, the celebration turned into screams. The police had come to solve the mystery of the suspicious death of a 6-year-old girl, but when the layers were revealed, the story of a ‘serial killer’ woman, who murdered humanity, affection and relationships.
34 year old Poonam, who looked like a normal woman and mother on the outside, was full of jealousy and cruelty on the inside. Not only did he kill the daughters of his relatives, but to hide his sin he even killed the son born in his own womb.
Wedding night and that scary scene
The story began on 1 December. 6 year old innocent ‘Vidhi’, resident of Bhawar village of Sonipat, had come to Naultha with her family for a wedding. Late at night when the wedding procession was leaving, Vidhi suddenly disappeared. The parents were searching for him like crazy.
What was seen in the morning shook everyone’s heart. Vidhi was lying face down in a plastic tub filled with water in the storeroom on the first floor of the house. she was dead. Everyone thought it was an accident, but how could a 6 year old girl drown in the tub? The police also had the same question in their mind.
How was the revelation revealed?
When SP Bhupendra Singh’s team started the investigation, the post mortem report pointed towards murder. The police started interrogating the relatives present at the wedding. During this time, repeated changes were seen in the statements of Vidhi’s aunt, Poonam. When the police showed some strictness, Poonam broke down and even the policemen themselves were stunned after hearing what she told.
Motto: ‘Beautiful children and fear’
Poonam confessed that it was she who had killed Vidhi. That night when everyone was busy in the wedding procession, she seduced Vidhi and took her upstairs. He told the girl to fill the tub with water and then drowned the innocent child in the same water.
But this was not the first murder. Poonam confessed that she Didn’t like children more beautiful than my own childrenhe was jealous.
- August 2025: He had killed his cousin’s 6 year old daughter ‘Jiya’ by drowning her in water in a similar manner. The family considered it an accident.
- January 2023: He had drowned his sister-in-law’s 9 year old daughter ‘Ishika’ in a water tank.
Why did you kill your own son?
The extent of this cruelty was crossed when Poonam told that she did not even spare her 3 year old son ‘Shubham’. He said that when he had killed Ishika, his son Shubham had seen it. He was afraid that his son might expose him or tell anyone when he grows up. Just out of this fear, he strangled his mother and also killed a piece of his own heart.
what now?
Poonam, wife of a farmer from Sonipat, is now behind bars. He took the lives of four laughing children just because of his mental frustration and jealousy. What the family members were considering as an accident and cursing their fate, was actually a conspiracy hidden in their own house. This incident forces everyone to think, whom should we trust?
