What was the fault of this innocent 1.5-year-old child? The tragic death of Arshad from Kerala has left the entire nation in shock.

According to police reports, the child was subjected to brutal torture for an entire month by his mother's live-in partner.

The post-mortem report revealed 51 injury marks on his body, including cigarette burns and severe internal trauma.

The accused initially misled doctors and police, claiming the child choked on food.

However, the investigation exposed that the death was the result of continuous physical abuse and a severe head injury.

Shockingly, this was not the first instance of abuse; previous injuries, including a broken arm, had been falsely attributed to a "bicycle accident."

The accused also attempted to destroy evidence, allegedly viewing the toddler as an obstacle in his life.

This case highlights a devastating need for child safety and vigilance.

May Arshad find the peace he was denied in his short life.
