In a disturbing video that has since gone viral, Karthikeyan can be seen brutally assaulting his son.
A disturbing incident of child abuse in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, drew widespread outrage after a video of a father torturing his young son surfaced online. The video, which went viral on the internet, shows the man, identified as Karthikeyan, engaging in violent and brutal behaviour towards his son, including strangling, slapping, and even using a hot iron on the child.
The incident unfolded after Karthikeyan’s wife, Abirami, left him due to his alcohol abuse and neglect of family responsibilities. Two months ago, Abirami moved out of their home and left her son in Karthikeyan’s care, hoping that the responsibility might bring about a change in his behaviour. However, the father’s actions took a shocking and violent turn.

Two weeks ago, Karthikeyan filmed a disturbing video of himself abusing his son, which he then sent to his wife and her relatives. He later posted the video on social media, where it quickly gained traction and drew the attention of concerned viewers. The footage, showing the helpless child crying while being subjected to violent treatment, sparked outrage and led to an anonymous tip to the child helpline.
Following the viral video, local police launched an investigation and registered a case of child abuse. The police successfully located Karthikeyan and rescued the child, but not before the father attempted to stage a suicide scene. Karthikeyan pretended to harm himself at home, and the police, believing the situation was serious, took him to a government hospital for treatment. However, while at the hospital, Karthikeyan managed to escape, only to return hours later.
The police suspect that Karthikeyan was intoxicated during the abuse. He had inflicted injuries on the child, including burns from the hot iron, which were visible when authorities intervened. The child, now under police protection, is receiving care and support as the investigation continues.
