Six-year-old tortured by relatives in UP, case filed

A case was registered against a couple for allegedly torturing and beating a six-year-old child.

Vishna Devi and her husband, Shankya, have two daughters and a son. They had sent their six-year-old daughter to Anjali’s place, which happens to be in the Jatvan neighbourhood of Kasganj. 

As per their complaint, the child was tortured by Vishna’s sister Anjali with a hot iron and sticks.

Kurawali district in-charge Sanjay Kumar Verma said that they have registered the case against Anjali and Arpit Jain and have started searching for the two accused. 

The six-year-old victim’s child was handed over to her parents after her medical was done.

On 2 October, Arpit’s mother called Vishna and told her that Anjali beats and tortures her child. She also said that she was taking her to the Ghiror police station.

As soon as the child’s parents reached the police station, the child started crying and told her parents that her aunt tortured and beat her. She used to beat her with a hot iron and sticks. She also used to abuse her, threatening to kill her.

Earlier on 15 September, Anjali and her husband Arpit had come to Mainpuri and shown much love and affection for the child. They also took the child with them. The child’s parents were assured that their daughter would be well taken care of in Anjali’s house.
