An eight-year-old boy suffered burn injuries inflicted by his own mother, allegedly due to her lingering resentment toward her former husband. The shocking incident took place five days ago in Kavadigarahatti, Chitradurga.

Nagma, who had a troubled marriage with Mubarak (Anila), divorced him despite having a son together. Both remarried soon after, but tensions persisted. According to the boy’s grandmother, Shamshad, Nagma takes out her frustration on her son whenever she sees her ex-husband, who resides in the same locality.

The boy endured fresh burns on his hands and legs, reportedly caused by Nagma. His grandmother claimed that domestic discord in Nagma’s second marriage with Irfan led to continued abuse. “He fled to our house, unable to bear the torture,” Shamshad stated.

A video has surfaced showing local women examining the boy’s wounds, with visible older scars. In the footage, the child alleges repeated mistreatment by his mother and maternal grandmother.

The disturbing case falls under the jurisdiction of the Chitradurga women’s police station, and further investigation is underway.
