March 25th, 2011 - 10:08 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, March 25 (IANS) In a shocking incident in the capital city, a three-year-old girl died after being thrashed by her uncle over some trivial family argument, police said Friday.
Babita succumbed to her injuries at the AIIMS Trauma Centre early Friday.
The little girl, her mother Poonam (31) and younger sister Radha (2) were living at her uncle Ravi’s residence at JJ Camp in Tigri Extension in Neb Sarai area in south Delhi.
Poonam had separated from her husband Lekhraj a couple of months ago.
According to a senior police officer, an argument broke out between Ravi and his sister Thursday evening on a trivial issue when Ravi assaulted Poonam and her two daughters with a baton.
In the melee, Ravi picked up Babita and threw her on the ground, the official said.
“She suffered critical injuries and lost consciousness. Ravi then ran away,” he added.
All the three were rushed to the AIIMS Trauma Centre where Babita succumbed to her injuries.
The officer said that Ravi used to ask Poonam to return to her husband’s house in Mahipalpur, but she refused, saying that her husband was a habitual drinker who beat her up often.
