4-Year-Old Forced to Drink Liquor By Uncle, Arrests After Video Goes Viral


Jul 7, (NDTV): Two persons were arrested on Monday for allegedly forcing a four-year-old child to drink liquor in Tamil Nadu's Tiruvannamalai district.

Police are looking for four more men who were seen in a video of the incident that was filmed last month by one of the accused.

The police action comes after the video of the incident in the Mel Cholankuppam village went viral on social media and WhatsApp.

One of the accused is the child's uncle. He was allegedly drinking with his friends when they forced the child to come and drink with them.

"We are interrogating both of them. We need to interrogate the other four as well. This has happened two weeks ago. We are also speaking to the parents. The boy is fine now," a senior police officer DSP M Ganesan, said.

Police have charged the men for attempt to murder and also booked them under the Juvenile Justice Act. They've seized the camera used for filming the incident and a motorbike from the accused.

"It's a serious charge. We would ensure tough actions are filed against them and they are brought to justice," said a police officer.
