Man kills 4-year-old daughter to get government compensation

In a shocking incident in Kashmir, a man allegedly choked and slit the throat of his 4-year-old daughter, in order to get government compensation. The accused Altaf Ahmad from Rafiabad has been arrested.

Police are saying his main motive was to claim she was killed by militants and seek compensation from the government. Altaf's wife is the village sarpanch and he was hoping the police would believe his story considering the recent militant attacks on sarpanches and their families. On the day of the incident, Altaf allegedly sent his wife and son to the doctor and in their absence murdered the young girl.

"We believe that the motive could have been that his wife is the village sarpanch. He might have tried to pass the murder off as a militant act to claim compensation from the government," DIG north Kashmir JP Singh said.

The child, Muskan, was found dead with her throat slit in an orchard near Laiser village in Dangiwacha area of Rafiabad, a day after she was reported missing by her father on June 14, police said.

A sharp-edged knife, a ten rupee note and an empty jute bag used to contain animal fodder were recovered from the scene of the crime.
