'Battered' Indian Baby Afreen dies WHY?

A three-month-old baby girl allegedly battered by her father has died in a hospital in India's Bangalore city.

The case of Baby Afreen has attracted widespread attention with women's and children's groups demanding tough action against those who hurt her. The case follows the death last month of a severely battered toddler who was taken to a Delhi hospital in January. That child, named Baby Falak, was brought to hospital with serious injuries, including human bite marks all over her body, by a teenage girl. The case of the toddler had gripped India, provoking widespread outrage and condemnation.

But the father has denied beating the child and said he did not know why his wife had alleged so.
