Father Let Daughter Die, Didn’t Want ‘Unknown’ Life Guards Touch Her

In a bizarre incident, father of a 20-year-old girl let his daughter drown at a beach in Dubai rather than have her saved by ‘strange’ men of a rescue team.

Speaking to Emirates 24|7, Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai Police’s Search and Rescue Department said, “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.”

Lifeguards tried to rush into the water to help her, but the father became aggressive and pulled them away. “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,” he continued.

“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. She died unfortunately, at a time when she had a chance to live, especially that the rescue men were so close to pulling her out of the water,” he added.

The father was later arrested by Dubai Police and prosecuted and sued by the concerned authorities for preventing the rescue team from saving his daughter’s life and doing their job.
