Navi Mumbai: 16-Month-Old Baby Beaten In Nursery, Parents Complain

Navi Mumbai, 14th February 2023: A brutal incident has come to light where a 16-month-old baby was picked up and pushed aside from the ‘Smart Thoughts Day Care Center’ in Vashi, Navi Mumbai. In this case, a non-chargeable case has been registered with the Vashi Police. The CCTV footage of the incident has been seized by the police.

The CCTV footage shows the toddler sitting on a chair. A plate of food is placed on the table in front of him and the baby goes to grab a spoon from the plate but is lifted and pushed aside. This baby keeps crying. As the baby did not stop crying even after coming home, this incident came to light after checking the CCTV. The child did not sleep at night for two weeks. His parents have complained that their baby is being beaten because he keeps crying.

As the police have registered only a misdemeanour case, the CCTVs of other days of the nursery could not be checked. The mobile link of the CCTV was switched off after the parents complained to the nursery operator. Due to this, if an FIR had been filed in this matter, some more matters would have come to light after the complete investigation of the matter, and the parents have expressed their regret. Vashi Police informed that an investigation is going on in this regard.
