Father Booked for Torturing Son in Karnataka
A man named Vijay Naik in Karnataka is in trouble for hurting his young son.
After Vijay and his wife got divorced, he got custody of their two kids.
The 7-year-old boy missed his mom and kept asking for her.
This made Vijay very angry.
Instead of being nice, Vijay hurt his son by burning his hand and hitting him with a belt.
The boy stopped going to school, and when teachers asked why, Vijay said the boy was sick.
Later, the mom found out and saw her son was hurt.
She took him to the hospital.
Both the mom and the boy told the police what happened.
Now, the police have started investigating Vijay for hurting his son.
A 7-year-old boy was allegedly tortured by his father, Vijay Naik, in Kumta Taluk, Karnataka.
The torture included burning the boy's palm and assaulting him with a belt.
The boy's mother found him locked in a house with visible injuries and admitted him to the hospital.
An FIR has been registered against Vijay under assault and the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act.
The police are investigating the case, which also involves Vijay's female friend.
