Shocking! Father lets daughter die rather than being 'touched by stranger life guards'

Dubai, Aug 10: In a shocking and rare incident, an Asian man at a beach in Dubai fought with life guards and stopped them from saving his drowning daughter.

"The girl suddenly started drowning while swimming. She was screaming for help but his father stopped life guards to rescue her." said Lt. Col Ahmed Burqibah, Deputy Director of Dubai Police's Search and Rescue Department.
