Woman drowns after father stops rescue to save honour
A young Asian woman drowned after her father allegedly prevented Dubai lifeguards from coming to the rescue because that would "dishonour" her, an Emirati news media outlet reported on Monday.
Emirates 24/7 reported that Dubai police arrested the unnamed man nearly two decades ago, which is when the inicident actually happened.
The incident, which was recounted in a local media story interviewing lifeguards about their strangest strange experiences, is believed to have taken place in 1996 according to The Guardian.
When two lifeguards tried to help the drowning 20-year-old, her father "started pulling and preventing the rescue men and got violent with them", it reported.
"He told them that he prefers his daughter being dead than being touched by a strange man," said Lieutenant Colonel Ahmed Burqibah, deputy director of Dubai police's search and rescue department.
The Asian man "considered that if these men touched his daughter, then this would dishonour her. It cost him the life of his daughter," Burqibah said, quoted by the website.
Dubai police later arrested the father for having blocked rescue teams from doing their job and saving his daughter's life.

@Nobel no but i remember his correct spelling of name is Batanaik, but whatever its not important to know his name , cast etc.One more thing for information while reporting if someone is mentioned as Asian or else means to say that its not local . For instant an Asian ! who , is not important.
nobel: Mentally sick people can be found all over the world and they are not restricted to just one area.
Is her father was Pathan , it seems to me
Media is irresponsible since long time, not just today.
The media is crazy.
They report Live an incident that happened two decades ago?
