The J.P. Nagar police arrested a 45-year-old construction labourer and his 35-year-old second wife for allegedly torturing his three children, two boys and a girl, aged six, four and three years. The incident took place at their house in KSRTC Layout in J.P. Nagar on Monday. After his wife passed away two months ago, Tamil Selvan remarried, and he and his wife Satya were raising the children, said the police. “Satya would complain about the children when he returned from work and an enraged Selvan would torture them. He slashed their legs with a blade and branded their bodies with a hot ladle,” said a police officer.
