Mother sats near bodies for hours

It so happened that both the kids after having dinner on Sunday night went to sleep. Adiba went to sleep with the grandmother on the ground floor, while Ali and his mother were sleeping in the room on the first floor. On Monday morning, like other family members, Adiba also woke up in the morning, but she again went to sleep with her mother on the first floor. Aliya revealed that she first killed Adiba when she was asleep at 10 am and after a gap of 10 minutes killed Ali.

Aliya after killing her kids between 10 am and 10.30 am, locked the door from inside and sat near the dead bodies for about one and a half hours till 12 noon. It was school-going time, therefore, Aliya’s sister-in-law knocked on the door alerting the kids to go to the school. However, Aliya did not open the door. Panicked sister-in-law then called her husband. In the meantime, the father of the kids, Fahad Basravi, also reached home. All of them spoke to Aliya and made her open the door. The family members were shocked on seeing the kids lying unconscious on the bed. Hence they immediately informed the police.

Suffering from mental illness

It is learnt that Aliya has lost her mental balance since the abortion of her baby, six months ago. She was married at the age of 15 years and attained motherhood at a very tender age.

3-days PCR

Satara police arrested Aliya on Tuesday morning. The investigation officer Vandana Muley produced her in the court where she was awarded three days of police custody remand (PCR).
