A poverty-struck labourer threw his three daughters in a canal on Saturday, but a passer by saved the young girls. According to details, Ansar, a resident of Bhalwal, had been struggling with poverty, and his inability to feed his children led to disputes within the family. On Saturday morning, Ansar took his three daughters to a canal near Chak No 18 Northern, and threw them in the canal one after the other and came back.
However, a passer by, who was observing the situation, jumped into the canal to rescue the three girls identified as the two-year-old Marriyam, three-year-old Kalsoom and five-year-old Ayesha. He took the girls to a hospital. Ansar’s wife said that her husband had been mentally upset due to poverty for the last few days. The police arrested the accused and started investigation. People of the village have appealed to Farzana Raja, federal minister for Benazir Income Support Programme, to provide assistance to the poor family.
Reckless, It wasn't you, was it?
