A man has now been arrested after he stands accused of killing his four-year old daughter because she didn’t notice her head scarf slip from her head whilst eating lunch.

Jafar Hussain, from the town of Bareilly, in Uttar Pradesh, India, is alleged to have killed his daughter Farheen by repeatedly throwing her against the ground after he flew into a rage.

According to The Hindustan Times, his wife – who is also the girl’s mother – attempted to intervene but was unable to stop the killing and suffered a beating herself.

He then asked her to bury her daughter’s body inside the house, which she refused to do.

Jafar’s neighbours in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh described him as mentally unstable and a staunchly religious person, who was obsessive when it came to screening women from men, the International Business Times reported.

Brijesh Srivastava, the superintendent of police, said: ‘We have arrested the father for killing his daughter and we are questioning him about the incident.

‘The body of the minor has been sent for post-mortem.’

It was claimed his daughter failed to realise her dupatta – a traditional head scarf worn by Muslims – had fallen from her head.

If Jafar is convicted, it would mark the latest act of religious violence in a region where such acts occur with concerning regularity.
