A 30-year-old woman, who was assaulted, kicked in abdomen and survived a brutal attack by mob during riots in Delhi's northeast, gave birth to a baby boy. Hailing from Karawal Nagar, the victim feels that giving birth to a healthy baby was nothing less than a miracle despite being brutally attacked during the Delhi riots.

The victim, her husband, two kids and mother-in-law were sleeping inside the house on Monday night when a mob barged into their house.

Victim's mother-in-law narrates ordeal

Narrating their ordeal, victim's mother-in-law said, "They hurled religious slurs, beat up my son. Some of them even kicked my daughter-in-law in the abdomen...as I went to protect her they came charging at me... We thought we would not survive that night. But with God's grace we somehow managed to escape from the clutches of the rioters."

"We rushed her to a nearby hospital but doctors there asked us to go to Al-hind Hospital where she delivered a baby boy on Wednesday," she added.

Despite having lost their home for over two decades and all belongings, her family has overcome the initial shock and are now overjoyed with the birth of the "miracle baby".
