A mother murdered her seven-year-old son, while her daughter was left severely injured after the siblings were attacked with a rolling pin for asking for chicken. The incident was reported from Palghar district of Maharashtra on September 28. The minor girl is undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital. The police said that the boy, identified as Chinmay Dhumde, asked his mother, Pallavi Dhumde, to make a chicken dish for him as he desired to have some non-veg food.
