In a shocking turn of events driven by family jealousy, a woman has been booked for allegedly trying to kill her four-year-old nephew by making him drink acid. The police report that the accused, motivated by resentment over her in-laws' favoritism, targeted the child in a disturbing attempt.
The incident occurred on April 9, when the accused allegedly lured her co-sister's son into drinking acid disguised as juice, under the pretense of offering him fruit juice. Promised a chocolate reward, the boy consumed the acid and was subsequently hospitalized, though later discharged in stable condition.
The case has been registered as attempted murder, with investigations revealing that the woman harbored a grudge over the grandparents' apparent preference and recent tattoo honoring the co-sister's son. The police continue to explore the depths of this family conflict.
