New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Friday added charges of culpable homicide in the case of two-year-old baby Falak following her death in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Trauma Centre.
The abandoned child, who was admitted to the AIIMS on January 18 with severe head injuries, broken arms, bite marks all over her body and cheeks branded with hot iron, breathed her last on Thursday.
A senior police official said following her death, they had added charges of culpable homicide in the case.
The child was brought to the hospital by a teenage girl, who had falsely claimed to be her mother. Investigations revealed the shocking story of Falak, her two siblings and their mother who were all separated after falling victim to human traffickers.
Falak's mother Munni was tricked into a second marriage by three women out of whom two – Laxmi and Kanta Choudhry – were arrested. The trio had promised that her three children will be taken care of but they were left to different people.
Ten people were arrested in the case, including the man who had abandoned the child with his teenage girlfriend.
Police traced Falak's five-year-old brother from the house of a vendor in West Delhi's Uttam Nagar locality while her sister Sanobar was traced by Delhi Police to Muzaffarpur in Bihar.
On February 15, Falak was reunited with her 22-year-old mother Munni, who was married to a man in Rajasthan.
