Kochi: A three-year-old boy was allegedly tortured by his mother and underwent a surgery with his condition stated to be critical, police said here Thursday.
The father took the boy to the hospital Wednesday saying he had injured himself by falling off a desk, but it looked liked he was beaten by a wooden object, besides there were burn injuries on the body, they added.
