11-year-old Bhuvan (name changed) was admitted to Sion hospital on October 9 with symptoms of epilepsy and injuries to the nose. During medical examination, doctors in the paediatric ward found the boy had burn marks on both arms. When his parents were questioned, initially the father denied any knowledge and the mother said Bhuvan sustained those injuries when he fell following a severe seizure.
