Indian-origin paediatrician Dr Neha Gupta, 37, from Oklahoma, has been charged with murdering her four-year-old daughter Aria Talathi in Florida in June 2025. US authorities released her chilling 911 call, in which she claimed her daughter fell into a pool at a short-term rental home while they slept. Gupta told dispatchers she couldn't swim and was unable to rescue the child. However, autopsy results proved Aria was already dead before being placed in the pool as no water was found in her lungs or stomach. Investigators believe she was smothered.
