Fathers Arrested in Separate Cases of Infant Girls' Deaths in India
Two separate incidents in India involved fathers allegedly killing their infant daughters due to disappointment over the child's gender. In West Bengal's North 24 Parganas, a father and grandfather were arrested after the two-month-old girl's body was found buried in a forest. In Karnataka's Chikkaballapur district, a man was detained for allegedly throwing his newborn daughter into an underground water sump. Police investigations in both cases are ongoing, with gender preference cited as a possible motive.
