Crime News: A harrowing incident unfolded in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh, where a father's uncontrollable anger led to a tragedy. Late Saturday night, near the Bhojpur railway gate, Dishan alias Salman brutally assaulted his two young daughters, resulting in the death of one and leaving the other in critical condition. The horrifying episode has sent shockwaves through the community.

Dispute over a toy turns deadly

According to police reports, the incident began when Salman's daughters, Alisha Parveen (8) and Alina Parveen (6), were playing at home. A seemingly innocent argument over a toy escalated, drawing the ire of their father. In a fit of rage, Salman grabbed a stick and mercilessly beat his daughters until they collapsed. The family rushed the unconscious girls to the hospital, where doctors tragically declared Alisha dead upon arrival.

Second daughter's condition critical

Alina, who survived the brutal beating, was immediately admitted to the ICU, where she remains in critical condition. The police, upon receiving the distress call, quickly arrived at the scene, arresting Salman and taking him into custody. His condition during interrogation was incoherent, as he appeared to be heavily intoxicated.

History of abuse and neglect

Neighbors and family members revealed that Salman, who works in a motor garage, has a history of substance abuse, frequently under the influence of marijuana and alcohol. This was not the first time he had subjected his daughters to violence. His repeated abusive behavior had already driven his wife to leave him. However, after hearing of the tragedy, she returned to the hospital to check on her daughters.

The police continue to investigate the incident, with Salman facing serious charges that could lead to severe legal consequences.
