A foreign national, married to a local girl, has been charged with kidnapping his three and a half year old daughter from the city.
Khalid Osman (32), a physiotherapist from Sudan, married Tahseen Sultan (26), a resident of Hakeempet, 10 years ago. Six years after marriage, they went to Sudan. Once there, Khalid reportedly started harassing Tahseen and locked her up in a dark room everyday.
Fed up with the torture, she returned to India on February 14 last with her daughter and started staying with her mother.
After six months, Khalid Oman also came to the city and started harassing her again. On May 2, he kidnapped his daughter Soha from his wife’s maternal house and escaped.
Tahseen filed a complaint against her husband in the Banjara Hills police station.
Mr Ashok Kumar, subinspector of police, said: “A case has been registered under Section 498A IPC and investigation is on.” Police say Khalid has taken shelter in Delhi.
“My husband behaved like a sadist. He called me up last night from Delhi and threatened to sell my child.
Though I filed a complaint in the police station, the police doesn’t seem to bother. I want my child back at any cost. I cannot live without her,” said Tahseen.
