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 up to her chest level.
Realizing 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 neighbors rescued the girl. They later thrashed her father and informed the police.
Hussein has been booked for attempt to murder and was sent to judicial
custody till January 20 by a local court.
"Abul Hussein was roughed up by the people who rescued the girl from
half-buried condition. Considering his week physical condition, the
court sent him to Judicial Custody for four days reserving directive on
our plea for police-remand," said Amal Chakraborty, the
officer-in-charge of the local police station.
