AGRA: A 12-year-old girl suffered permanent vision loss in one eye after her aunt allegedly attacked her with a steel hairband in a fit of rage after the former accidentally dropped the latter’s infant daughter on the ground while playing. The girl, a Class 8 student, is undergoing treatment at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi.Bhongaon police station SHO Pradeep Kumar Pandey said on Tuesday, “Based on a complaint filed by the girl’s father, a case was registered against Khushboo Singh under BNS sections 115-2 (voluntarily causing hurt), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of peace) and 352-2 (criminal intimidation). Action will be taken as per legal procedure.”The incident took place on May 5 in Humayunpur village. In his complaint, Jugendra Singh, a farmer, stated: “Around 7 am, my daughter Sagun took her one-year-old cousin Radhika in her lap before leaving for school. The infant accidentally slipped and fell. Enraged, Khushboo, my brother’s wife, hurled abuses at her and grabbed an iron hairband and struck my daughter’s eye. When I objected, Khushboo threatened to kill me if I reported the matter to the police.”Singh alleged police forced him to alter his statement and charged the accused under less serious offences. “My daughter’s right eyeball is completely destroyed. Doctors at AIIMS Delhi confirmed she would never see from that eye again. Stricter charges should have been slapped on the accused,” he said on Tuesday.
