HAFIZABAD: A woman was arrested Monday night for allegedly beating her minor son so violently that he ended up in a hospital, authorities said.
The mother beat her child, a ninth-grader, over his refusal to study and consequent attempt to run away from home in Jalalpur Bhattian.
Police said they have registered a first information report (FIR) on behalf of the child's father and arrested the mother. The boy, who was saved by neighbours, was moved to the hospital for medical attention.
