Bengal: 5-Year-Old Baruipur Orphan's Aunt Tortures Him With Burning Cigarette Butts

Bengal News: A 5-year-old boy in Baruipur's Sonarpur was hospitalised with severe injuries allegedly inflicted by his maternal aunt and uncle.

A five-year-old child in Bengal's Sonarpur, Baruipur, was moved to a shelter after injuries of cigarette butts, allegedly inflicted by his maternal aunt and her husband. The child lost his mother when he was just three months old and has been living with his maternal aunt and uncle since then. In fact, he would call them his parents.

The alleged torture came to light when his friends at school noticed the injury marks all over his body. The kids informed their parents who approached the victim's foster parents (aunt and uncle) and questioned them. They then called in the Sonarpur police, who took away the child. The Sonarpur police station was verbally intimated about the matter by the other parents, but no one has filed a written complaint so far. The school hasn't filed any complaint either.

According to police sources, the child was provided initial treatment and then taken to a government shelter home where he will be housed for the time being. The Sonarpur police have started a suo motu investigation into the incident. However, no one has been arrested so far.
