According to the police, the incident took place on August 3 (Thursday) in a village of Kaushambi district when the boy skipped school, inviting his father’s wrath who subjected the boy to severe corporal punishment for his refusal to attend school.

The irate father first thrashed the boy with a wooden stick until it broke, and later used a bamboo stick to continue the brutal beatdown of his 10-year-old son even as the kid kept writhing in pain and begging from mercy from his father.

Following the incident, the local police took cognizance of the video and detained Prajapati. A senior official said that a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) will be registered against him and proper action will be taken after investigation into the incident is completed.

Additional Superintendent of Police Samar Bahadur said the boy was taken to a hospital for treatment and his condition is stated to be stable, adding that further probe in the case is underway.
