Ganesan (35) of Nagapattinam, came to Thanajvur for work three years back and married Fairose Banu (28). The couple were residing at Thirupalathurai with their two children Mahalakshmi (2) and Kamar Nisha (two months). Meanwhile, Ganesh went to Mayiladuthurai to see his ailing mother who was injured in an accident and hospitalised.

On March 1, Banu contacted Ganesh and reportedly told him that Kamar Nisha died all of a sudden. Ganesh grew suspicious and lodged a complaint with the Papanasam police over the death of the baby. During interrogations, the woman confessed to having killed the baby   as it was hindrance to her second marriage.
