With the days passing, we’re only going worse in terms of moral values. These days one cannot pass a day or turn a news paper’s page without acknowledging a molestation or rape incident. After all, a surprising growth is observed in the number of assault cases recently. Despite the strong amendments and stud transformations, authorities are simply unable to tackle the issue persistently.

Though there are certain incidents in which women take the adverse advantage of the leniency of laws that are bluntly against men, there are no unconventional possibilities in the majority of situations. Starting from the assault case that shocked everyone which has happened in Kerala’s Kozhikode, a teen was beaten up in Mumbai’s streets. Now, another most disturbing incident has taken place in Orissa’s Berhampur.

Coming to the story, “a four-year-old girl was tortured with a hot iron rod by her parents’ friend as punishment for not eating”, the police were quoted saying the same on Saturday.

The child was admitted to the MKCG Medical College and Hospital, they said. The incident took place two days ago, but it came to light on Friday when locals informed the police.

Meanwhile, the victim’s mother said she and her husband had left their daughter at their friend’s house for the summer vacation so that she could play with his baby. “We had left our daughter at our friend’s house. I was shocked with how he behaved with my child,” said the girl’s mother.

As of now, the accused was arrested and the case in progress.
