Mob Beats Up Deaf Woman Over 'Kidnapping'

A four-month pregnant Deaf woman was beaten up by a mob over suspicion that she was a child lifter.

NEW DELHI, India -- A pregnant and Deaf woman was thrashed by a mob over suspicion of being a child-lifter in northeast Delhi, police said on Sunday, an incident which comes close on the heels of mob attacks over similar rumours in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.

Several people have been injured in violence over the rumours in UP over the past week, forcing the state police to warn the public that it has decided to invoke the stringent National Security Act against rumour-mongers.

The four-month pregnant woman was beaten up by a mob in Harsh Vihar on August 27 over suspicion that she was a child lifter, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Atul Kumar Thakur said.

The DCP said a case has been registered at the Harsh Vihar police station under Indian Penal Code sections for voluntarily causing hurt and wrongful restraint.

"We have arrested two persons, Deepak (27) and B Shakuntala (52), residents of Mandoli," he said. He urged people not to pay heed to rumours of child abduction.

The woman's family alleged that her in-laws had banished her from their Faridabad home on August 18 and said she was missing since then.

"Somehow the woman reached Harsh Vihar and was staying on a footpath. Locals used to give her food but on August 27, they attacked her over allegations of child lifting," a police officer said.

The family approached the Delhi Police after seeing a video of the incident.

Deaf Indian Woman Returns Home After 12-Years

WATCH: Deaf Indian woman Geeta 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' to return home nearly after being stranded in Pakistan for 12 years.

NEW DELHI, India -- Several families had come forward to claim the Deaf and mute Indian girl is their daughter. The Punjab Rangers brought her to the Edhi Foundation nearly 14 years ago, said Faisal Edhi of the social welfare group.

She was barely 11 years old when she accidentally crossed the border and landed in Pakistan. Now in her early 20s, Geeta - who is Deaf and mute - is set to return to her homeland as her family has been traced in India.

The Centre said on Thursday that Geeta will be reunited with her family.

“Geeta will be back in India soon. We have located her family. She will be handed over to the family only after the DNA test,” External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said.

Geeta was being looked after by Edhi Foundation, a charitable organisation, in Karachi. The 23-year-old has identified her family through a photograph and they reportedly live in Bihar. Pakistani authorities said they have completed all formalities to repatriate Geeta to India.

“We have completed all formalities on our part for repatriation of Geeta. The Indian side has already been informed accordingly. We, therefore, are waiting for response from the Indian High Commission regarding the mode of her return,” Foreign Office spokesperson Qazi Khalilullah said.

Geeta’s case came to light after Bollywood star Salman Khan’s film Bajrangi Bhaijaan was released earlier this year. ... Read The Full Story.
