New Delhi: Lately a video has gone viral in which a toddler is being thrashed brutally by an elder person whose only hands are visible.

In the video, the infant is seen sitting in a walker but all of a sudden a slap lands on her cheeks, and the child starts wailing. The hand does not stop, and slaps the kid many times.

The wailings of the child are heart-melting but the person has no effect. Playing the video forward, it can be seen that two kids are being thrashed cruelly.

As per reports, the video is of Saudi Arabia and the person hitting the children is their own mother.

As per reports, the kids being slapped are six-months-old twin sisters. The mother of the two infant girls has reportedly been divorced from her husband and has the custody of the two girls.

It is reported that the woman wanted to take money from her husband and that is why she made the babies her weapon. She recorded the video and sent it to her in-laws, but the video made its way to YouTube.

It also reached the labour and social development ministry of the country. The ministry took action and arrested the mother and handed over the custody of the children to their father.
