“During the play, some goats knocked over a bag containing vegetables. Enraged by this, the girl’s father, Ramswaroop alias Ramsu, used hot tongs from the stove to brand her on her palm and other parts of her body,” the SHO said.

“When the girl’s grandfather tried to intervene, he was also severely beaten,” she added.

Following a complaint filed by the girl’s grandfather, Lalanju, the police registered a case and arrested Ramswaroop. The girl was sent to a hospital for treatment, Chandel added.
