Police sources say the man's dislike for the girl child led him to commit the alleged crime. The accused, Abul Hussein, allegedly dug a pit in his backyard while his wife was away. He then allegedly put his daughter in the pit, hands tied, mouth taped and filled earth upto her chest level.
Realising that his wife had returned home, Hussein allegedly placed a bamboo-drum over his daughter's head, intending to bury her later. But his wife soon grew suspicious and raised the alarm, following which neighbours rescued the girl. They later thrashed her father and informed the police.

Unbelievable. My parents were not educated people and we were poor, yet they know how to take care of kids. I don't see how this man can convinces himself that he has the right to kill his own. I understand people in extreme situations go for extreme measures but even if it were that, he didn't bother to think of doing it in a painless way.
