Jodhpur A three-year-old boy is battling for life at a hospital here after being branded with hot iron rods and bitten at various places on his body by his stepfather, who was starving him.
The boy, Sanyam, is currently undergoing treatment and is in a critical condition after being brought there by his mother, who had been confined by her husband but managed to flee, police said.

Doctors said the child is suffering from malnutrition besides serious injuries, including two fractures. “The child is in a state of absolute trauma and will take a long time to recover,” paediatrician Pramod Sharma said.

The police on Friday nabbed the culprit, Kailash Jain, who was on the run since Wednesday.
