Father Lets His Daughter Die, Rather Than Be Touched By 'strange' Men by jidxin(op): 9:09am On Aug 10, 2015

A father of a 20-year-old girl let his daughter drown, after he stopped life
guards from rescuing her. He preferred that his daughter die rather than she be
touched by a strange man.
Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai
Police’s Search and Rescue Department said that this incident took place at a
beach in Dubai.
“This is one of the incidents which I cannot forget. It shocked me and
many others who were involved in the case. 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. Two rescue men were at the
beach, and they rushed to help the girl.
However, there was one obstacle which prevented them from reaching the
girl and helping her. This obstacle was the belief of this Asian man who
considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would
dishonour her. It cost him the life of his daughter.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the father of the girl did not want the rescue men
to touch his daughter as they were strange men.
“The father was a tall and strong man. He 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 a strange man.”
He pointed out that this delay and fight with the girl’s father cost the girl her
life. She drowned.
“She died unfortunately, at a time when she had a chance to live,
especially that the rescue men were so close to her to pull her out of the
water.”
Lt. Col. Burqibah added that the girl’s father was later arrested by Dubai Police
for stopping the rescue team from saving his daughter’s life and doing their job.
“He was prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities.”
