Delhi Infanticide

In a shocking incident in Delhi, a man allegedly killed and buried his twin daughters after they were discharged from hospital, the police said today. His family has been accused of harassing his wife for not giving birth to a son.

In what appears to be a case of female infanticide, the body of a new-born girl was recovered from a dump in the national capital on Thursday. The body, discarded in a garbage dump in west Delhi's Bharat Nagar area, had been bundled into a polythene bag. The bag caught the attention of locals when street dogs started dragging it.

India wrestlers have clinched 15 medals in the Delhi games till now and six of them have come from girls. And it is the state of Haryana, which is struggling to improve its gender ratio because of female infanticide, that is the breeding ground for these medalists.
