Description: SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/1dKbiT4 A mother and daughter in India – both acid attack survivors - have been forced to continue living with their attacker and forgive him due to public pressure in India. Inderjeet Mahour, 60, attacked his wife Geeta Mahour, 40, and his two daughters Neetu, then three, and 18-month-old Krishna, with acid as they slept in Agra, in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, over 23 years ago. Even though Geeta suffered horrendous injuries, and Neetu, now 26, was left blind, while Krishna tragically died from her injuries, she shockingly managed to forgive her husband. They went on to have another daughter eight years later, and today she still shares his bed and cooks him dinner every night. Geeta said: ‘After I recovered from my injuries I was worried how I’d raise my kids alone so I decided to forgive him and I returned to him. For some years he was nice to me. But eventually he started drinking and gambling again. Even today when he gets drunk he threatens to kill us. But nothing bothers me now. I cry every night for the misery we are forced to live but this is our life.’ Directed, Filmed and Edited by Tanzeel Ur Rehman Get the latest headlines: stories.coverasiapress.com Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/CoverAsiaPress Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/coverasiapress Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/coverasiapress Please contact news@coverasiapress.com to licence this copyright footage.
