Karachi Couple Arrested for Throwing Newborn Girl from Building Window

KARACHI: In a shocking incident in Karachi’s Chakra Goth area, a newborn baby girl was allegedly thrown from a third-floor window by her parents, reportedly out of anger for not having a son. According to police, residents alerted authorities after witnessing the couple throw the infant, who died on the spot. Both parents were arrested and taken into custody for questioning as investigations continue. Preliminary reports suggest the act was driven by gender-based frustration, though officials are also examining psychological and social factors. The case draws parallels to a 2023 incident in Liaquatabad, where a woman threw her newborn daughter from a building. Authorities have condemned the recent tragedy, calling it a grim reminder of persistent gender bias and the need for greater mental health awareness in society.
