Chandigarh, May 24

Desperate to be a father of a son after he have had five daughters, a man cuts open his pregnant wife’s stomach to check if she was going to give birth to a boy or a girl.

Panna Lal– who belonged to Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun–was sentenced to life in prison.

The case dates back to September 2020, says a report in NDTV.

The couple used to fight regularly over not having a boy. When she was eight months pregnant, he cut her stomach and it was so deep that her intestines were left hanging from her stomach, Anita told the court.

Panna Lal fled the spot.

Anita was rushed to the hospital by her brother. She survived, but the baby boy could not be saved.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
