A Sikh father-in-law violently attacked his daughter in her London home because he though she was having an affair with a Muslim man.
As a result of the cruelty the woman has been left partially-sighted and the children now can't sleep without seeing nightmares, Daily Mail reports.
The man's rage was caused by the wrong belief that Jageer was "sleeping with a Paki", but his daughter turned out to become the victim of prank calls.
The 51-year-old turned himself in to the police, having described in detail what had happened.
Mirgind, the father of 4, was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months in prison.
The convict, who used to be a leading member of the Sikh community, said in the statement delivered by his lawyer:
"I was stressed out at the time and nothing can excuse what I did. I was trying to protect her - I am a
peaceful and honest man and I know I will not have the chance to apologize but I do look to the court to say how sorry I am."
