NOIDA: A dispute between two children at a residential complex on 10th Avenue of Gaur City 2, in Greater Noida, escalated into a serious confrontation between their mothers when one woman struck the other’s six-year-old son.
The impact of the slap was severe enough to leave a visible bruise on the child’s cheek.
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon. Following this, an FIR was registered against the woman at Bisrakh police station.
Chanchal Saini, the mother of the child who was slapped, told TOI that even after the visible bruise on the child’s cheek, the woman was not accepting that she hit the child. “My child, along with his friend, was playing after school in the society.
The woman’s child came after they had some conflict with their paper-made aeroplane, and they started fighting over it. The woman’s child called his mother and told her about the conflict they had, following which she slapped my son very hard. She then held my son and his friend’s hand and brought the two of them to us, saying, ‘apne bcho ko sambhalo, ye mere bache ko maar rahe hai’. At that time, I was shocked after I saw that mark on my child’s cheek,” she said.
Chanchal added that upon asking, her son told her that the woman slapped him, which was also noticed by other parents. “I was just about to question her on hitting my son, but she started abusing me. She then threatened further physical assault on the child,” said Chanchal.
Following the incident, the child’s father gave a written complaint at the Bisrakh police station. “We registered an FIR against the woman under sections 115 (2) of BNS, which deals with punishment for voluntarily causing hurt, and under section 352 of BNS, which deals with acts of provocation and the subsequent punishment for offences committed under the influence of provocation,” said SHO of Bisrakh police station.
