“The accused Guddi Singh is stated to be mentally unstable. She confessed to her crime but didn’t say much.
“Mental health counsellors are taking care of her.”
The investigating officer continued: “After the arrest, Guddi said she didn’t know when and how she set her son on fire. She was not in her senses.”
The complainant, Shreepal Singh, said:
“Guddi has three daughters and after the birth of her son Sandeep, she started behaving strangely. A sorcerer was treating her.”
Senior police officer Virendra Singh Baghel stated:
