I'm feeling so sad and ashamed..rest in peace

NEW DELHI: Baby Falak, who moved the entire country with her suffering has died in AIIMS on Thursday evening after fighting a 2-month battle for life. Doctors said that the likely cause of the death was heart failure.

Baby Falak was brought to AIIMS and was admitted to the trauma centre on January 18 by a 14-year-old who claimed to be her mother. She was brought with severe head injury, both arms broken, bite marks all over her body and cheeks branded with hot iron.

She underwent a life saving surgery of the brain immediately after her admission in AIIMS. Later on, more surgeries followed to stabilize her condition. Doctors even conducted a tracheostomy on her.

Ten people including key-accused Raj Kumar Gupta who had handed over the baby to the 14-year-old girl have been arrested in the case.

Falak leaves for a better world


NEW DELHI: Five surgeries and 56 days after she was admitted to hospital, two-year-old Falak suffered a third heart attack at 9.40pm on Thursday. All efforts by the doctors to revive her failed -- and Falak left the brutal world she had briefly inhabited for, hopefully, a better one.

It was a tragedy that sickened and shocked a nation and had millions offering prayers. On January 18, the little girl was admitted to the AIIMS trauma centre with severe head injuries, both arms broken and human bite marks all over her body. The same day, she suffered a heart attack, followed by another on January 21. But she clung on tenaciously, to a life that had offered her nothing but pain and trauma.

Public outrage at her plight spurred investigations that uncovered a sordid tale of exploitation and callousness, and led to the arrest of 13 people accused of human trafficking. Police finally tracked down her biological mother, Munni -- herself a victom of circumstances -- in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. Munni, who had been separated from her three children, was reunited with them, but the happiness proved short-lived.

"She was doing well over the past few days. The infection was under control and we weaned her off the ventilator. The sudden death due to cardiac arrest is surprising and sad," said Dr Deepak Aggarwal, the neurosurgeon at AIIMS trauma centre who was treating her.

Dr M C Misra, chief of the centre, said a post mortem would be conducted on Friday to further investigate the cause of death. Falak had recently been declared fit to be discharged. She had undergone five life-saving surgeries, including a shunt surgery to create a permanent passage to drain out the water accumulating in her brain.

The baby was shifted to the hospital's high-dependency unit of the neurosurgery

ward from the ICU on March 1. Nurses who took care of her said she was able to breathe on her own, lift her eyes and there was movement in the limbs also. "She would cry and the whole unit would go to see what happened to her. Each one of us was so attached to the baby and now she is no more. It is disheartening," said one of the nurses. Moved by Falak's plight, many Indians as well as people abroad had offered to adopt her after she recovered.

Falak's saga of misfortune began in September last year when her mother, 27-year-old Munni, took the bait of a trafficker and landed in the capital. She had left a daughter behind in Muzzafarpur, Bihar. Laxmi, who had lured Munni to Delhi, allegedly told her to leave Falak with her and got her married to a farmer in Rajasthan, claiming that she was a virgin.

Laxmi later handed over the child to Manoj, her neighbour and relative. Manoj was working with Rajkumar alias Mohammad Dilshad, with whom he entrusted the child. Rajkumar, who owns two taxis, was living in with a 14-year-old but was married to another woman. He left for Mumbai after he heard that his son, who suffers from a rare thyroid disease, had been admitted in hospital.

The 14-year-old girl, who has herself had a traumatic past -- including an alleged brush with prostitution -- was left to take care of the baby. Apparently, she dropped the baby while bathing her. When the child would not stop crying, the frustrated teenager savagely attacked her but later took her to hospital after Rajkumar instructed her to do so over phone. On Tuesday, the teenager was arrested and will be tried for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
