Results Horror! Man thrashes son with shovel for not scoring A+ in SSLC exam

In a horrifying case, a man from Kerala allegedly attacked his teenage son with a shovel handle for not scoring A+ in all subjects of the SSLC examination. He was later arrested by the Kilimanoor police on Tuesday after his wife filed a complaint.

According to The New Indian Express report, Sabu, thrashed his son on Monday afternoon when he came to know that his son scored A+ in only six subjects, three less than his son had promised. The incident came to light when a friend of the boy took a photograph and uploaded it on social media. Child rights organisations took note of it and alerted the police.

After being alerted the police source said that Sabu had beaten his son behind his knee resulting in slight discolouration of the skin. Meanwhile, Sabu’s wife also gave a statement, saying that her husband used to punish their son at times.

Currently, Sabu has been charged under IPC 323, 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) and Juvenile Justice Act.
