Zain along with his friend Aslam choked the little baby with a dupatta and hid her body in a straw bag in his house. After the body began emitting a foul odor, the man dumped the body in a nearby dumpyard three days after the girl went missing. The Aligarh Police got hold of the dumped, decomposed body with the eyes gouged out and acid thrown all over the baby’s body.
Zain and his friend were arrested by the Aligarh Police and accepted to committing the heinous crime. While confessing he added that he had lured the child by offering her biscuits. Soon the news of the child’s death spread like wildfire and large protests began to take its shape in front of the Tappal Police station.
There were hunger strikes, markets were closed and protests began to get stronger until there was some action taken. Many on social media demanded for immediate justice. Celebrities from all around the country joined the social media protest too:

(There was earlier a misconception that the child was raped but that has been proved false information by the Aligarh Police).

What has happened to baby twinkle is. Heartbreaking and horrific. I pray for her and her family. I also urge people to not make this into a selfish agenda. This is a little girls death, not a reason to spread your hate.

Horrific hate crime. What is even worse than the crime is the utter indifference and hypocrisy of bollywood’s ‘crusaders’- Looks like Swara bhaskar, Sonam,vishal dadlani and all their ilk who raged for asifa are facing sudden shortage of paper or marker? #JusticeForTwinkleSharma pic.twitter.com/HbpGEx09n7
