The boy was sodomised and beaten up on September 18 and admitted to the LNJP Hospital on September 22. He died on Saturday, according to police. "I work as domestic help and was out for work when the (September 18) incident happened. When I returned home, I saw that my son had an injury to his leg. He told me that he was injured while playing. I could have never imagined that something like this would have happened to him.
"He was in pain and when I prodded him, he just said that they will kill me," the boy's mother said. "When I asked him again, he told me that two to three boys sexually assaulted him. They beat him up with an iron rod," she said. The boy's mother recorded a video of his narration.
