9-year-old dies in India as mother throws her off
The incident took place in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A 30-year-old Indian mother has been arrested for killing her 9-year-old daughter, Ashika, by pushing her off the terrace.
Shockingly, Swati Sarkar made two attempts to kill her daughter - first by throwing her off the edge of the roof, and then pushing her from the terrace of the third floor after she survived the first fall.
The girl died on spot after the second fall.
The incident took place in Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon, NDTV reported.
Married to a techie, Swati had separated from her husband earlier this year and had planned to commit suicide after killing her mentally challenged daughter.
Having witnessed the horrific incident, neighbours tied Swati to an electric pole till police arrived.
"The accused claims the child had autism. We are yet to confirm this. We are investigating on what triggered her to take this step and her psychological state," Dr SD Sharanappa, Bengaluru senior cop, was quoted saying by the news channel.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
