A man has been arrested for trying to bury his 10-year-old daughter alive
because she was a girl.
Police say the shocking
incident in Tripura, India, saw Abdul Hussein dig a pit in his back garden
while his wife was out, and then put his daughter in the hole with her hands
roped together and her mouth taped up.
Her dad is then said to
have filled up the pit to chest level, with pictures showing the young girl
with her arms and head above the dirt floor.
When
Abdul's wife returned home he put a bamboo basket over their daughter's head,
with the intention of burying her completely later on, NDTV reports.
But his wife began
to question where the little girl was, and she was soon discovered by
neighbours.
They are said to have
beaten up the dad before calling police.
Abdul was then
arrested, and now faces a charge of attempted murder.
