The Story in Brief
A man identified as Rinku threw his infant daughter into the Yamuna river after stopping on a bridge to take a selfie with her, according to NDTV. Rinku and his wife Lakshmi had set out from their home on a motorcycle with their daughter to visit Agra. When they reached a bridge, Rinku stopped, took a selfie with the baby, and then threw her into the river. The incident was reported by NDTV. The baby's age and fate are not known. Police have not commented.
The Indian Opinion
The shocking detail of a father taking a selfie before throwing his baby into a river risks becoming a meme, but we must resist trivialising a possible tragedy. Whether this was a deliberate act or a moment of severe mental breakdown is unknown. The media should avoid sensationalism and focus on the systemic issues, lack of mental health support, postpartum depression in men, rather than turning the father into a monster. The autopsy and the father’s psychological evaluation will be the real tests.
