Overview
- Police say the girl, a relative of the accused wife, was kept without authorization at a CRPF residential quarter in Greater Noida and made to do household work.
- Doctors documented multiple severe injuries, whole-body swelling and haemoglobin of about 1.9, with the child critically ill on ventilator support at Max Hospital, Sector 128.
- An FIR was registered at Ecotech-3 under Section 110 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and Noida Police arrested constable Tariq Anwar and his wife Rimpa Khatoon before the CRPF suspended the jawan.
- Hospital records indicate the child was first taken to Sarvodaya Hospital in a semi-conscious state, then discharged by the couple citing financial constraints, and later shifted to Max Hospital for intensive care.
- A CRPF Assistant Commandant’s complaint alleges the FIR was delayed and the suspected quarters were not sealed, as officials consider whether child-labour, trafficking and other child-protection charges should also be invoked.
