New Delhi: A
30-year-old woman in the capital was allegedly poisoned by her
husband as she had given birth to a girl child, police said
Friday.
Ishak Parveen, a resident of central Delhi's Lahori Gate, was
admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan hospital Thursday night
by her husband, Javed Tariq who informed authorities that she had
consumed a poisonous substance.
Parveen's father Malik Sikandar, however, got registered a case
against Tariq alleging that he gave the poison to his daughter and
absconded after leaving her at the hospital.
In his complaint, Sikandar said Tariq had poisoned Parveen because
she had given birth to a girl one-and-half months ago. He further
claimed that Tariq had been assaulting Parveen ever since the
birth.
Parveen's condition continued to be critical at the Intensive Care
Unit (ICU) of the hospital where she has been kept under
observation.
"Police are waiting for the victim's statement to ascertain the
facts. As soon as she gains consciousness, we will record her
statement," said a police official.
