Two-year-old girl kidnapped, slaughtered
PAKISTAN - 16 MARCH 2010
PESHAWAR: A two-year-old girl from Peshawar was strangled and slaughtered in an inhuman manner on Monday after she was kidnapped for ransom from Battagram village of Charsadda.
The kidnap-cum-murder of a child is the second of its kind during the last two weeks. A four-year-old Afghan girl was kidnapped and later strangled in Nauthia on March 2. She had also been brutally tortured during captivity.
Fareeha, the two-year-old daughter of Shahid of Mushtaqabad in Nauthia, went to attend a wedding in Battagram along with her uncle Shoaib and other family members. She was kidnapped while she was playing along with other children on the street, where the house of special assistant to the chief minister, Masoom Shah, is also located.
Fareeha used to live with us as we are issueless. On Saturday people told us that Fareeha was picked by some people. We approached the local police and brought sniffer dogs of a private company to search for our daughter, Shoaib, the uncle of the baby girl and a munshi by profession, told the police.
It was learnt that the sniffer dogs led the cops to the house of one Bahadur in Battagram village. He was apprehended and later two of his relatives, Karman and Imran, were also arrested who confessed that Bahadur had brought the girl to their house but later shifted her to some other place.
As the cops were investigating the arrested people and searching for the missing baby, the family also searched the entire village in a pickup to find their daughter. It was learnt that the family was called by unknown kidnappers, asking them to pay Rs400,000 as ransom. The poor family had no resources to arrange the money, and later the family, friends and villagers of Battagram put together Rs120,000 to pay the criminals, who wanted more.
On Monday, the family received a call from a villager of Kangra, saying he had recovered the body of a two-year-old girl from a drain outside his house. We rushed to the area where we found that the beasts had first strangled Fareeha and later slaughtered her, said Shoaib, who was crying while carrying the body of the slain baby in his lap during his protest outside the Peshawar Press Club.
The baby was taken to Rural Health Centre in Battagram where the doctors examined the body and reported that she had died six hours ago. The villagers of Battagram blocked the main Shabqadar Road for hours protesting the police failure in safe recovery of the girl.
Many could not stop crying when they saw the body of the girl, with golden hair and fair skin, and dressed in light-blue shirt and navy-blue jeans. The family and others accompanying the body were demanding of the chief justice of Pakistan to take strict action against the killers as well as other kidnappers who had been playing havoc in Frontier. The baby was later laid to rest in Nauthia.
