Bengaluru, Jan 4: C M Ibrahim, vice-chairman of the State Planning Board and close confidante of chief minister Siddaramaiah, is in the dock after he was accused of being responsible for the abortion of his daughter's foetus.
The accusation has come from none other than his own brother C M Khader.
As per the details of the case, Ibrahim’s daughter Ifa was in love with C M Faizal, son of Khader. Ibrahim did not approve the marriage. But Ifa married Faizal amid objection seven months back.
When Ifa came to her father’s house recently, she was four-and-a-half months pregnant. As per Khader, Ibrahim and his wife gave juice mixed with a tablet meant to abort the foetus to Ifa. She later developed stomach ache and subsequently went through abortion at a private hospital.
"Ibrahim forcibly initiated the abortion as he was against the marriage. We are planning to file a police complaint against him under appropriate law of foeticide," Khader said speaking to reporters on Tuesday January 3.
