Mother and Lover Accused of Assaulting Infant in Bengaluru

A mother and her lover in Bengaluru have been accused of hurting her one-year-old child.

The father filed a complaint, alleging the assault happened because the child was crying during intimate moments.

The mother, however, claims she hit the child because it was crying and preventing her from doing household chores.

The child was taken to the hospital with major injuries.

The police have registered a case under the Juvenile Justice Act and other charges.

The Child Welfare Committee has decided to give the infant back to the mother with a warning.
