Madhya Pradesh: Maid seen bashing two-year-old child, arrested
In a disturbing incident, police in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh apprehended a domestic maid who used to cruelly beat up a two-year-old child when the child's parents went out to work. The heinous abuse meted out to the helpless child was caught on CCTV camera. The baby's nasty caregiver used to slap, hit, and drag him on a daily basis.
What do we know about the incident?
Four months ago, the family engaged Rajni Chaudhary, a Chaman Nagar local, to look after their child. The parents would make food around 11:00 am and leave for work, giving Rajni the opportunity to beat the helpless child. When the child became increasingly unwell, the parents were dubious. Later, the doctor informed them that their child had intestinal swelling and was perhaps being tortured.
Accused woman charged under IPC Section 308
As per officials, the parents recently reviewed the CCTV footage and were outraged to find the maid's inhumane treatment of their child.
