The Chunabhatti police registered a case under section 109 (attempt to murder) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the minor, based on a statement by a woman police constable. The boy has been sent to a children’s remand home.

The incident occurred on Friday when the class 9 student was calling for his mother to help with some household tasks. She, however, was engaged in a phone conversation. In a moment of rage, the boy allegedly picked up a kitchen knife and threatened his mother, leading to a scuffle during which she sustained a severe neck injury.

The injured mother managed to go outside, where she sought help from two women constables stationed at a nearby police chowki. They immediately rushed her to Sion Hospital. The woman, who was initially unconscious, is now reported to be out of danger.
