A 25-year-old woman, whose throat was slit along with that of her two minor children in November in south Delhi’s Hauz Rani, woke up from a coma on Sunday, and blamed her husband and in-laws for the incident, the police said.

‘Self-inflicted’

Medical reports, however, indicate that the woman’s wounds were “self-inflicted”, they added.

On November 17, the police were informed that a woman had slit the throat of her daughter and son, and tried to kill herself, the police said.

The girl succumbed to her injuries in a hospital, while the boy and his mother were undergoing treatment, he said. Subsequently, a case was registered and investigation was taken up, he added.

In a written statement, the woman said that on November 16, when she was sleeping with her children, her husband came home and started abusing and thrashing her and later slit her throat.
