Delhi.
Day.s before she allegedly killed her seven-month-old daughter, Adiba Khan had penned down her thoughts in a register: “You people do not love me. My health was deteriorating… I feel anxious and have been panicking. My hands have a burning sensation like someone applied chilli on them. Those who do not believe their daughters, someday the same will happen to them.”
Police had on September 1 arrested Khan for allegedly strangulating her daughter with a chunni inside her house in Nizamuddin, and sent her to Tihar Jail. Khan had initially claimed her daughter died due to drowning, but when the post-mortem report opined that the child died due to “fatal pressure on the neck”, police questioned her and she reportedly confessed.
Khan’s family has now claimed she had “showed signs of mental distress” and had earlier been taken to Safdarjung Hospital for psychiatric evaluation. They have also pressed for her to be admitted to a hospital instead of the jail. The family produced a medical document in which the doctor had observed that the patient had a "feeling of dying, tingling sensations in her hands and feet, fear at sudden noise".
