Delhi Commission for Women offers to take care of baby Falak

NEW DELHI: As two-year-old baby Falak continues to battle for her life, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) today offered to take care of her in the long run and discussed the issue with Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.

DCW chairperson Barkha Singh said the Commission would like to offer all sorts of help to the toddler including her brining up and education.

"We have discussed the whole issue with the Chief Minister. We have conveyed to her that DCW would like to take all care of the baby including her brining up and education," she said.

The baby, whose head was smashed and body has bite marks all over, was brought to AIIMS by a teenaged girl who claimed to be her mother but later turned out that she was not her relative.

Singh said the baby could be kept at children home 'Nirmal Chhaya' or in 'Palna'".

"There are so many people who want to adopt the child. We can give her to them," she said adding Dikshit was willing to pay the baby's medical bills from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund.

Dikshit has already said that Delhi Government would extend all possible care to the toddler.
