Baby Falak critical, 'mother' can't meet her yet

Battered baby Falak continues to be critical at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) where she has been battling for survival for over two weeks.

But Munni, who claims to be her mother, will not be able to meet the two-year-old till DNA tests prove she is the biological parent, police said on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old woman, Munni, who is also being treated as a victim in the case, claims to have abandoned Falak in September last year. She was traced from Jhunjhnu district in Rajasthan and brought to Delhi on Sunday night.

"Munni's DNA test is yet to be done. It will take some time and investigations are still on, so we are not taking her to AIIMS today (Tuesday) to meet the child," a senior Delhi police official said pleading anonymity.

Meanwhile, Falak is still critical and fighting for life at AIIMS.
