Jodhpur: Man 'sacrifices' daughter to please God during Ramzan, arrested
A 26-year-old man identified as Nawab Ali Qureshi was arrested by Jodhpur police on Saturday for killing his four-year-old daughter. The child, Rizwana, was found with her throat slit. Qureshi claimed he had sacrificed his beloved daughter to please God during the holy month of Ramzan. After interrogation, Rizwan, who stays in Silawaton Ka Mohalla, confessed to the crime.
Before slitting throat, Qureshi bought goodies for daughter
On Thursday, Qureshi took his daughter to the market and bought goodies for her. In the night, as everyone in the house was sleeping, he took her to the terrace, recited the Kalma, told her he loved her, and slit her throat. "I am a devout Muslim and love my daughter more than my life," Qureshi said. The little one was buried on Friday.
Qureshi tried convincing others cat may have killed his daughter
Rizwana's mother Shabana was shocked to find her daughter lying dead in a ground floor room around 5 AM. Qureshi tried convincing his kin a cat may have killed Rizwana, but Shabana insisted on a police complaint. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, police probed all angles. "Qureshi's psychological questioning helped reveal clues. Ultimately, he confessed to his crime," police said.
"Had to offer my prized possession to Allah"
"Jo meri sabse pyaari cheez thi, wo Allah ke paas bhejni thi (I had to offer my most prized-possession to Allah)," Qureshi reportedly said. He added the devil possessed his body. During Ramzan, Muslims are supposed to go on the path of tolerance and selflessness.
