Dr. Rekha Gupta, a 36-year-old pediatrician, is accused of first-degree murder in the death of her 4-year-old daughter, Aria Talathi, in El Portal, United States — Florida. Authorities allege Rekha Gupta staged Aria Talathi's death to appear as an accidental drowning in a swimming pool on June 27. An autopsy revealed no water in Aria Talathi's lungs or stomach, with injuries consistent with asphyxiation by smothering, suggesting she was dead before being placed in the pool. Rekha Gupta initially claimed she found Aria Talathi unresponsive in the pool after being woken by a noise. After the incident, Rekha Gupta fled to United States — Oklahoma City, where she was later arrested by the United States — New York City Police Department and the United States — United States Postal Service, and is awaiting extradition to United States — Miami-Dade County, Florida. Rekha Gupta's lawyer, Richard Cooper, maintains her innocence and criticizes the investigation. It was also revealed that Rekha Gupta was in a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband, Saurabh Talathi, who was unaware of their daughter's travel to United States — Florida. Rekha Gupta had also been suspended and given notice of termination from Boston Children s Hospital and the University of Oklahoma prior to her arrest.
