Woman Books For Pouring Adhesive Into Nephew's Mouth

A shocking incident has come to light in Lohegaon, Pune, where a woman allegedly poured Fevikwik adhesive into the mouth of her 9-month-old nephew. The infant, Ali, sustained serious injuries and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Sassoon General Hospital.

According to the police, the incident took place around midnight on July 31 at Kalwad Vasti in Lohegaon. The complainant, Altaf Nabi Sheikh, alleged that his sister-in-law, Sania Sheikh, targeted his son due to an ongoing family dispute. It is reported that Altaf and his brother lived together and frequently argued over domestic issues, which Sania allegedly took advantage of to commit the heinous act.

The incident came to light after the baby's mother, Zainab Sheikh, noticed that the child had started vomiting and that his lips appeared to be stuck together. She immediately informed her husband, who rushed the baby to Sassoon General Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU. Senior Police Inspector Manisha Patil said the baby's condition has improved and he is recovering.

The police have registered a criminal case against Sania Sheikh and have also booked two other individuals, Riyaz Imam Halyal and Haji Malang Sheikh, both residents of Kandivali, Mumbai. According to the complaint, when Zainab confronted Sania about the incident, she allegedly threatened her with dire consequences if she disclosed what had happened. The complaint further alleges that Riyaz and Haji later arrived at the hospital and threatened the child's parents, warning them against filing a police complaint.

The police are currently investigating the matter, and further action is expected to be taken against the accused. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the need for greater awareness and action against domestic violence and child abuse.

In recent years, there have been several cases of domestic violence and child abuse reported in Pune and other parts of the country. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing these issues and providing support to victims and their families.

The police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward and assist in the investigation. The case is currently being investigated by the Lohegaon Police Station, and further updates are expected to be released in the coming days.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for stricter laws and greater action against perpetrators of domestic violence and child abuse. As the investigation continues, it is hoped that justice will be served and that the victim and his family will receive the support and care they need.

In conclusion, the incident is a stark reminder of the need for greater awareness and action against domestic violence and child abuse. It is essential that we work together to create a safer and more supportive environment for all individuals, particularly children and vulnerable members of society.
