A man was booked in Kalyan in the Thane district for a brutal assault on his two-year-old son. The accused reportedly slammed his son on the floor and scalded his hand with a hot plate. Police officials said that he did this because the toddler used to avoid him at home.

According to PTI, the accused, who has been identified as Rahul Suresh Visale, and his wife Rohini lives in Parnaka in Kalyan West. Both are embroiled in marital disputes, with one matter reaching the court previously, the official added.
