In another shocking incident, where parents and authorities are being questioned, a 43-year-old father branded his 10-year-old son's body with a hot knife because the latter refused to go to school. The incident occurred in Gudiyatham taluk of Kolimedu village in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, earlier this week.
The accused had also warned his family and neighbours against informing the police about the incident. However, a case was registered when the news spread through the town. Locals said Poovarasan's brutal act was motivated by anger at his estranged wife.
The accused father is identified as N Poovarasan. On Thursday, he went to wake up his son, a class IV student, for school. Reluctantly, the minor boy dismissed him, reported The Times of India. This infuriated the accused, and he heated the knife to press it on his son's hands, body and thighs. The kid screamed in pain, grabbing the attention of his grandfather resting in the next room. When he came to check on the child, the grandfather, Natrajan, saw the accused torturing the child physically.
