Girl chained for a week by father in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A 17-year-old girl was chained by her stepfather to a TV stand for more than a week as her mother was fighting sickness.
Henna limped into a Hyderabd police station on Monday night, chained to a TV stand. Her stepfather Mohammed Akbar allegedly tied her with iron chains for more than a week, while her mother battled sickness.
Repeated pleas by Henna's mother, Begum, went unheard, after which she decided to approach the city police. The girl said her stepfather beat and verbally abused her almost daily.
"My mother used to take an injection to sleep after which I used to be scared so I tried to run away," said Henna.
The step father though claims it was only to mend Henna's ways. The police have now registered a case of illegal confinement against Akbar and are questioning him.
"He used all of his criminal force to control the girl, so she resisted it," said Sub-Inspector Nagendra Rao.
While the police has rescued the girl for now, the case throws light on the inhuman punishments still being meted out in by-lanes of Hyderabad

That is lame. Good thing the girl is now okay and away from his stepfather. I don't know what to think of those people, they deserved to be punished. I just hope everything's been doing okay with the girl now. There are actually many cases like this around the globe. Although many are also unrecorded since many failed to report cases of such abuse.

It is hard to believe that something like this could happen. Where is this guys heart. I hope that they will rightly punish this man for doing this. God bless the young girl.
