In this Uttar Pradesh district, a 54-year-old father and his 8-year-old daughter died, according to authorities, a day after he reportedly poisoned their young children and ate it himself. Saleem, a native of Madaiya village, was reportedly home alone on Friday with his daughter and 10-year-old son when the alleged event took place, according to witnesses. Saleem administered rat poison to the kids before eating it himself, according to his wife Mehtab, who spoke to PTI. Iram and Saleem have passed away, and my son’s health is grave, doctors have told me, she continued.
Mehtab and Saleem had seven kids together and were struggling financially. Their one and only kid had thalassemia. Mehtab, however, claimed that Saleem was forced to leave their 33-year house when the local government served them with a notice to evacuate in 2021. “According to the notification, our home was constructed on encroached property. In court, we have appealed the decision. Due to the order, Saleem was under stress “She said. Local authorities have refuted the accusation.
According to Subdivisional Magistrate Nirankar Singh, “The family’s thalassemia-afflicted youngster caused them to experience both financial hardship and emotional anguish. Their residence was the subject of a notice that was sent out in 2021, and the case is still pending.” The official continued by saying that the district government was covering the expense of their son’s medical care.
