Chitradurga, Sep 13: The fact that an attempt to bury an eight-year-old boy alive was made at Kanchipura in Hosadurga taluk in the district came into the open on Sunday September 12.

Jyothi, daughter of Nagamma fro Doddakarpuradahatti village had been married to Srinivas from Shivani Station village. Srinivas is a coolie by profession and his addiction to liquor had devastated the family.

Jyothi's son, Abhilash (8) was born with certain handicap and he could not move around. Because of his condition, Abhilash grew up with maternal grandmother, Nagamma. With the help of villagers, Nagamma was getting monthly pension of Rs 500 for which specially abled children are eligible.

On Sunday, Jyothi arrived at the house of her mother and demanded that pension received in her son's name should be handed over to her. When Nagamma refused, she took her son away, visited a local relative, and after spending sometime there, went away with her son. Everyone thought she had taken her son back to her home.

In the evening, a shepherd grazing some sheep in barren field heard wailing sound which he felt belonged to a child. He went closer and found the stretched hand of a child inside a pit. He raced to Kachipura at around 7.30 pm that day and conveyed information to villagers. The villagers went there and brought out the boy who was buried under stones alive. He was admitted into a government hospital nearby from where he was taken to district hospital. On Monday morning, the boy was referred to CJ hospital Davanagere for advanced care. He is learnt to be out of danger.

Deputy director of women and child welfare department,Parameshwarappa, said that the department will meet expenses for treatment and rehabilitation of the boy and that if she so wants, the boy will be given to the care of his grandmother.

Abhilash's mother, Jyothi, was arrested from Hosadurga Road by police of Srirampur station on Monday night. She confessed to have committed this crime. District superintendent of police, M N Anuchet, said that Jyothi explained that being specially abled, she felt it would be difficult to raise her son.

    Cannot imagine how the small boy must have felt being murdered by his own mother who is supposed to take care of him.

    Hope somebody comes to the rescue of this boy and gives some medical aid so that at least if possible he can move around and is able to get atleat some education so that he is independent becos his grandmother no idea how long she will be able to look after him. very sad situation.

    Poor parents cannot take care of such children as they need to feed their child on their daily wages. Many so called organization are mushroomed in recent past but none of them take care of such children.
    Sad part is whenever true organization take care of such children, others come with rods and match box and blame conversion. They have neither ability / capacity (moral and financial) to take care of such children nor they allow others to do the noble job.

    If it is difficult for that cruel mother to take care of her child then why did she snatched him from his grandmother. Grandmother even though being old was taking care of that child. But this lady is so cruel that she buried the helpless child. Many of us feel bad even if murderers or dacoits are treated in same way even though they deserve such treatment. But this child which is born unlucky is given such type of punishment for no fault. I think government form a special child care foundation to find this type of children born in any place of the state and take measures to take care of them. There are many poor people who cant take care of this type of case and hence might have done or may do in the same way. Luckily here this child is noticed and helped. Hope other such children are taken care.

    Sad incident. No words to react.

    There is purpose for everything. Do not think that you are cursed whenever such child is born in your family.
    Normally, family members including siblings come to-gather and take care of such child. There is a special bond among all family members. Parents do not think of divorce whenever they have such child.
