Father Prevents Lifeguards From Saving His Drowning Daughter by marex: 8:00pm On Aug 09, 2015

[b]An Asian father who prevented Dubai lifeguards from saving his drowning daughter, claiming she would be dishonoured if she was touched by strange men, has been arrested and prosecuted by authorities after his actions led to the death of the 20-year-old girl, Emirates 24/7 reported.

"The Asian father took his wife and kids to the beach for picnic and fun. The kids were swimming in the beach when suddenly, the 20-year-old girl started drowning and screaming for help," Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s Search and Rescue Department, told the website as he recounted the incident, which took place on a Dubai public beach.

“Two rescue men were at the beach, and they rushed to help the girl.... The father, a tall and strong man, started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them. He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by strange men.”This is one of the incidents which I cannot forget. It shocked me and many others who were involved in the case," he added.

The actions of the father resulted in the death of the young woman. The father was subsequently arrested for preventing the lifeguards from doing their job and aiding in the death of his daughter.“He was prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities,” Lt. Col. Burqibah confirmed.
