9 April 2012
Baby Nehan Afreen, only 3 months old, died on 11 April 2012, morning in Bangalore after her father Omar Farooq, 25, tortured her for not being a boy.
Omar Farooq was arrested late on Sunday night. The 25-year-old, an unskilled worker in a paint shop in the densely populated Shivajinagar area in the heart of the Karnataka capital, is said to be an alcoholic who regularly abused his wife and child.
He faces charges of attempt to murder and female infanticide. Sources said after thrashing the baby with his hands, Farooq had even tried to suffocate her with a pillow.
Afreen was rushed to Bowring Hospital and later to Vanivilas Hospital after she slipped into coma on Sunday.
Afreen’s maternal grandmother Majboorbi couldn’t hold back tears as she stood outside the ICU. “How could he beat up a baby so sweet?” said the mother of four daughters who has no doubt who the culprit is. “Even my daughter has endured a lot since he just wanted money and always harassed her for more dowry.”
*****GOD BLESS YOU SWEETIE....YOU ARE NOT DESERVED TO BE HURT.****
