The incident occurred on January 30 this year, when the child's body was discovered in a well near the family's house. Soon after, police arrested the child's uncle, Harikumar (25), who confessed to throwing her into the well due to enmity towards Sreethu.

However, forensic examination of the mobile phones of both Sreethu and Harikumar later suggested her involvement in the crime. She was taken into custody from Palakkad and brought to the Balaramapuram police station.

"We have scientific evidence against her. She was aware of the murder. Her custodial interrogation is required to gather more details," a police officer said. The police officer said that a DNA test has confirmed that Sreethu's husband, Sreejith, was not the girl's father.
