A poor couple has sought permission from the court for the mercy killing of their one-year-old daughter as they are unable to bear the costs. The couple identified as Bawajan and Shabana filed a petition in Madanpalle town in Chittoor district on seeking the permission for euthanasia for their daughter Suhana.
The couple stated in their petition that since her birth, Suhana is suffering from hypoglycemia. They said they have already spent Rs 12 lakh on her treatment at various hospitals in Madanpalli and Bengaluru, but her condition did not improve.
Stating that they sold their property and jewellery for their daughter’s treatment, the couple said they were no longer in a position to bear the expenses and hence mercy killing be permitted.
