30-year-old Shabana Parveen, who survived a brutal attack by a mob who was kicked and assaulted in northeast Delhi's Karawal Nagar gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Narrating their ordeal, Ms Parveen's mother-in-law Nashima told PTI, "They hurled religious slurs, beat up my son. Some of them even kicked my daughter-in-law in the abdomen...as I went to protect her they came charging at me... We thought we would not survive that night. But with God's grace we somehow managed to escape from the clutches of the rioters." Parveen, her husband, two kids and mother-in-law were sleeping inside the house on Monday night when a mob barged into their house.
"We rushed Parveen to a nearby hospital but doctors there asked us to go to Al-hind Hospital where she delivered a baby boy on Wednesday," she added. Nashima said she had no clue where the family would go after Ms Parveen was discharged from the hospital."It's all gone there. Nothing left. Maybe, we will go to some relative's place and see how we can re-build our life," she said.The violence over the amended citizenship law in northeast Delhi has claimed 38 lives so far and left over 200 people injured. Frenzied mobs torched houses, shops, vehicles, a petrol pump and pelted stones at locals and police personnel.
