Nanny Held Without Bail in Shaken-Baby Case

Rehan Karnani was shaken so hard by his nanny, police said, that he suffered a brain hemorrhage and had to be hospitalized. His 23-year-old nanny is now charged with hurting the 18-month-old boy last week in his parents' Greenburgh home. Bibi Safeena Zaman, who lives in the Bronx, was arraigned yesterday in Greenburgh Town Court on a felony charge of reckless assault of a child, a law that was stiffened two years ago at the urging of a Yonkers father. She is being held without bail in the Westchester County jail. The boy is in the pediatric intensive care unit at Westchester Medical Center with subdural and retinal hemorrhaging.
