In a video that is going viral on social media platforms, a woman can be seen hitting her ‘adopted’ child with a sharp object on her neck multiple times. The heart-wrenching incident has been reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar.
In one of these videos posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) the mother can be seen sitting next to a stove to cook as her child (who appears to be a girl) comes in wearing a dress. When she sits down in front of her mother, things take a scary turn. The mother suddenly grabs the child's hand and starts hitting her with a sharp object on her neck. The child cries out in pain, but the mother doesn't stop and tries to twist her hand while the child keeps crying. To make things even worse, the woman pulls the child's hair and pushes her to the ground. The video, lasting for 2 minutes and 19 seconds, is rapidly going viral online with people asking authorities to take strong action against the woman.
