Nagpur Shock: Grandmother Pours Boiling Water on 4-Year-Old for Splashing Holi Colour (VIDEO)

A shocking incident surfaced from Nagpur in Maharashtra, where a four-year-old boy suffered serious burn injuries after his grandmother allegedly poured boiling water on him during Holi celebrations, police said.

According to officials, the child had been playing with coloured water and attempted to splash some on his grandmother, identified as Sindhu Thackeray. However, the situation turned tragic when she allegedly reacted in anger.

CCTV footage from the area reportedly shows the boy approaching the woman while playing with coloured water. The woman, who was carrying a bucket believed to contain hot water, then allegedly poured the boiling water over the child, causing him to scream and writhe in pain.

In the video, another woman standing nearby can later be seen pouring normal water over the child in an attempt to cool his burns and provide immediate relief.
