Alappuzha: A woman was arrested on Saturday for allegedly burning her four-and-a-half-year-old son’s buttocks and legs with a hot steel spatula at their home in Kayamkulam, police said.

The incident occurred on September 22, and the woman was booked on the same day under various provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing hurt to the child, according to police.

An officer from the Kanakakunnu police station, where the FIR was registered, explained that the woman became angry at her son for defecating in his pants and inflicted the injuries using the hot steel spatula.

When she took the child to the hospital, she claimed that he had sat on a hot stove, which caused the injuries. However, her in-laws revealed the alleged cruelty on her part, leading the police to register an FIR against her.
