The police in Indukurupet Mandal in Nellore detained at least two people in connection with the alleged torture of the girl.
A 10-year-old girl was allegedly tortured by her neighbours by burning her face with a hot iron rod over suspicion of stealing a mobile phone in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore district Sunday.
The police in Indukurupet Mandal in Nellore detained at least two people in connection with the alleged torture of the girl who lives with her aunt in a Scheduled Tribes (ST) colony. Other neighbours heard the girl’s cries when she was allegedly being burnt with a hot iron rod on her cheeks. They rescued her and called the police before shifting her to a government hospital, where she was given treatment and discharged.
“The girl denied going to the neighbour’s house, let alone stealing a phone, and claimed innocence. We have registered an FIR and detained two people for questioning,’’ an officer from the Indukurupet police station said.
