The incident took place in Mangaluru’s Ujire when the victim identified as Khalid was travelling with his two-year-old son in an auto, reported News18.
According to a report, two passersby on a bike noticed that Khalid’s son was crying, and they followed him to a local restaurant where he had gone for tea. They confronted Khalid about the crying toddler, but when they could not get a proper answer, they started beating Khalid and branded him as child lifter.
