Woman arrested for bashing up, burning grandson with wax for throwing tantrums

Unaware of the POCSO Act and trapped by the traditional mindset of silencing children for mischievous acts, a woman beat up her grandson aged 2 and burnt his hands and back with candle wax.

The child was admitted to hospital. The video of the act went viral, following which police registered a case.
