The child's father, Kamlesh Jain, said they took Devansh to Rampura Satellite Hospital 15 minutes after the incident. After initial dressing, the doctors referred him to the district hospital.

Doctors stitched his private parts with three stitches and advised dressing for the next seven days. He received over fifteen stitches on other wounds. The child is still so scared that he refuses to leave his mother's lap.
