It is a heartbreaking story: After the mother of a five-year-old Viennese woman suddenly died in January, the girl was picked up by her grandfather and taken to Pakistan. Of course without the father of the child knowing anything about it. Now the Viennese is having trouble cuddling his little one again.
Gripping family drama set in Vienna: January 29 will forever be burned in Jahan’s memory – on that day, the 30-year-old discovered his ex-wife died suddenly at the age of 28. And that his daughter Aleeza (5) says she was ‘kidnapped’ to Pakistan by her grandfather.
Ex-wife passed away suddenly
But what happened? Jahan and his “ex” lived separately. Aleeza (5) lived with her mother, according to Jahan, access rights went well. Until the end of January. When, out of the blue, the mother suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism in her sleep. Aleeza is said to have found her lifeless mother the next morning. Then the girl desperately called her grandparents. Ambulance and youth services were called in. And the present second cousin of the dead asked where the child should go.
Grandfather took child to Pakistan
“He said that the contact with me was not good,” Jahan says in a tearful voice to the “Krone”. And so on January 26, the grandfather would have traveled from Pakistan and brought the five-year-old home with him. Jahan himself learned about the drama about his ex-wife almost a week later. And fight to hug Aleeza.
Grandpa came back to Vienna without a child
The 30-year-old applied for sole custody — and got it. Nevertheless, the grandfather, who has now reported a child abduction, has to oppose the return of the preschooler to his home country. “She lost her mother, needs a psychologist,” says Jahan. Grandpa is only concerned with himself, he criticizes. Grandfather is said to have landed at Vienna-Schwechat Airport last night. However, without Aleza. Whether he turned himself in to the police is more than doubtful
