On a quiet January morning in 2021, 22-year-old Reshma claimed to find a newborn abandoned in a heap of dry leaves behind her home. The village watched in grief as the infant, struggling with infection from the debris, passed away—triggering a high-stakes homicide investigation. (AI Generated Image)
For months, the police hit a dead end until DNA evidence delivered a chilling truth: Reshma was the mother. Reshma told the police that her Facebook friend had put a condition that he would accept her with another child. (AI Generated Image)
In a feat of tragic endurance, she had hidden her pregnancy from her husband and father by wearing tight body shapers and avoiding all physical contact, living a double life under their roof.(AI Generated Image)
In custody, the motive emerged: Reshma was "in love." For nearly two years, she had been groomed by a Facebook profile named "Anandu." She believed he was the soulmate she was meant to elope with, provided she arrived without the "burden" of a second child. (AI Generated Image)
The obsession had almost reached a breaking point months earlier when Reshma traveled to Varkala to finally meet her digital lover. She was thwarted only when her husband, tipped off by an anonymous source, intercepted her and smashed her phone in a fit of rage. (AI Generated Image)
The mystery turned into a nightmare when two of Reshma’s own relatives, Arya and Greeshma, went missing shortly after her arrest. Police soon discovered the horrifying truth: "Anandu" never existed. He was a fake persona created by the two women as a long-term "prank" to tease Reshma. (AI Generated Image)
The two women, realizing their digital game had directly led to the death of an infant and the arrest of their kin, could not face the consequences. Their bodies were recovered from the deep currents of the Ithikkara River, leaving behind a suicide note pleading for forgiveness. (AI Generated Image)
