A four-year-old girl in a village near
Bareilly was killed allegedly by her father for failing to cover her head while
having food.
There is seriously something wrong with the society we belong to. This is a horrific crime and shakes the humanity to the core.
Superintendent of Police (Rural), Brijesh Srivastava, said: "We have arrested the father for killing his daughter and we are questioning him about the incident. The body of the minor has been sent for post-mortem."
Covering of the head or wearing a veil is mandatory for women in various Islamic sects worldwide. In 2007, 16-year-old Aqsa Parvez, a Canadian national, was strangled by her brother and father when she chose to not wear a hijab. In March 2014, Polish national Orina Morawiec was stabbed to death in her London apartment by her Muslim husband because she refused to wear a hijab.
The incident allegedly happened on Friday, October 3rd when the little girl Farheen was having lunch
with her mother. The accused Jafar Hussain picked her up and threw her to the
ground repeatedly after she did not notice her dupatta slip off her head, while
her mother went to the villagers for help.

When the villagers reached the spot,
they saw the man beating her daughter inhumanly. The people present there got
terrified by the kind of brutality and couldn’t dare to stop the man.
After the girl died he asked his wife to bury her inside the house, but
she refused. The FIR filed by the girl’s mother said this happened in front of
the whole family and that when she tried to stop him , he beat her up.
Neighbours described Hussain, who lives with his wife Naeem and their
four children as a “mentally unstable man” and a staunch religious follower who
shunned all contacts even with his relatives. The eldest child is a 5-year- old
boy, the youngest was ten months old. The family lived in poverty and food was
not prepared every day, they said.
