00:00A mother's cruelty has left an entire district in shock.
00:0340-year-old Pallavi Dhumdeh has been arrested for brutally beating her 7-year-old son Chinmay
00:07to death with a rolling pin and severely injuring her 10-year-old daughter Lavya.
00:12Police say the horror unfolded in Kashipada on Friday night after Chinmay asked for chicken.
00:17Pallavi, observing Navratri, fast refused.
00:20But what followed is beyond comprehension.
00:22She rained blows on her son's head, chest, back and face, killing him and then turned on her daughter.
00:29Despite their condition, she made no attempt to take them to a hospital.
00:33When a neighbour, alerted by screams, rushed in, they found Chinmay's lifeless body under a sheet.
00:39Pallavi tried to claim he had died of jaundice but the visible injuries told a very different story.
00:43Police later sees the rolling pin used in the assault.
00:46An FIR under Section 1031 for murder and other IPC charges has been registered.
00:52The injured daughter was admitted to hospital and later shifted to an ashram for care and protection.
00:57Why did a mother, already living apart from her husband with two sisters and two children,
01:02unleash such brutal violence over a simple request for food?
01:06District SP Yatish Deshmukh confirmed Pallavi's arrest.
01:10Investigations are still underway but the questions of motive and mental state remain unanswered.
