NEW YORK: An Indian-origin woman in the US has been found guilty of brutally abusing and starving her 12-year-old step-daughter for more than a year and half and faces up to 25 years in prison. Sheetal Ranot, 35, was found guilty of assault and endangering the welfare of a child for the abuse of her stepdaughter Maya Ranot in 2014 when she was 12 years old. In one instance, the child was hit with a broken metal broom handle that cut her wrist down to the bone and required surgery.
