UP: Relatives torture 6-year-old girl with hot iron rod, case registered

Uttar Pradesh Police have registered a case against a couple for torturing and beating a six-year-old girl, who happened to be their relative.

Vishna Devi and her husband Shankya sent their six-year-old daughter to her aunt Anjali's place in Kasganj for a couple of days. As per their complaint, the minor girl was tortured by Vishna's sister Anjali with a hot iron rod and sticks.

According to Kurawali district in-charge Sanjay Kumar Verma, police have registered the case against Anjali and her husband 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.

The incident comes to light on October 2, after Arpit's mother called Vishna and informed her that Anjali tortures and beats her child. She also took the child to the Ghiror Police Station.

As soon as the girl’s parents reached the police station, the child started crying and told her parents that her aunt tortured her with a hot iron rod. Anjali also used to abuse her threatening of killing her.

Earlier on September 15, 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 nicely taken care of in Anjali's house.
