Dr. Neha Gupta, a pediatrician, is accused of the first-degree murder of her 4-year-old daughter, Aria. Gupta allegedly staged the girl's death to appear as a drowning in a swimming pool while on vacation in South Florida. An investigation revealed that there was no water in Aria's lungs, ruling out drowning as the cause of death. Gupta fled to Oklahoma after the incident and is currently held without bond. Florida authorities are seeking her extradition to face charges.
The records do not list an attorney for Gupta who could be reached for comment on her behalf.
