Two held for giving alcohol to 2-year-old
The police on Saturday arrested two persons who made a two-year-old boy consume alcohol at Ambattur.
On Friday afternoon, N. Selvam was consuming liquor along with two friends at his house in V.O.C. Nagar, Menammedu. He took his neighbour’s child in, who was crawling in the front portion of the house, and the trio fed him alcohol using a spoon. When the boy fell semi-conscious, they sprinkled water on his face to resuscitate him.
Later, they took him on a motorcycle under the pretext of buying chocolates.
After some time, they returned the boy to his mother, who grew suspicious since he was semi-conscious.
The boy was rushed to a private hospital, where he was given treatment.
The police said that two persons — N. Selvam (47) and J. Palani (34) — were arrested. Another accused, Raman, is still at large.
