Sir,
— I cannot think of a mode of punishment prescribed by the Indian Penal Code that is harsh enough to bring Omar Farooq — the man who brutally murdered his own baby, Afreen — to justice (“Father batters 3-month-old girl”, April 11). The crime is so heinous that I wonder whether even the death penalty or a life sentence is sufficient punishment. I cannot imagine how a father can take the life of his own child in such a cruel manner. Did Farooq kill Afreen only because she was born a girl? It won’t be surprising if mothers soon become scarce in our society.
What is it that gets Indian parents so worried when they have a baby girl? Does the fear of having to pay an exorbitant amount of money as dowry prompt them to kill their girl children? The government and the non-governmental organizations should work together to earnestly fight this menace. People need to understand that it is not a crime to be born a girl, especially in the 21st century.
Thanking You
Yours Truly
