Indian origin kills her daughter; stages death to look like drowning

Neha Gupta, an Oklahoma pediatrician, faces a first-degree murder charge in Florida for the death of her four-year-old daughter, Aria Talathi. Initially reported as a drowning, an autopsy revealed Aria died from asphyxiation by smothering, with injuries inconsistent with Gupta’s account. Detectives uncovered a bitter custody battle between Gupta and her ex-husband, adding complexity to the case.
