A shocking child abuse and murder case from Kerala has sparked widespread outrage after a 1.5-year-old boy, Arshid, was found with dozens of injuries across his body. Police have arrested both the child's mother and her partner in connection with the case.
According to investigators, a post-mortem examination revealed around 51 injuries of varying ages, severe internal bleeding and suspected cigarette burn marks, pointing to prolonged physical abuse. The toddler was initially taken to hospital after the accused allegedly claimed he had choked while eating, but doctors later declared him dead.
Police allege the child had been subjected to repeated torture for over a month. The mother has been booked for abetment to murder and cruelty towards a child, while her partner faces murder charges. Investigators claim she was aware of the abuse but failed to intervene or seek help.
The case has triggered massive public outrage, with residents attempting to confront the accused during evidence collection and child rights activists demanding the strictest possible action against those responsible.
