A Bidhan Nagar court today remanded private tutor Puja Singh, who was caught on camera brutally beating up a three-year-old boy at Lake Town in the northern fringe of the city, to 14-day judicial custody.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Apurba Kumar Ghosh gave the order when she was produced before his court after a five-day police custody.
Singh was arrested from south Kolkata on July 25, two days after the incident came to light as a CCTV footage showed the tutor mercilessly kicking and beating up the child.
She has been booked under sections 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 379 (punishment for theft) and 308 (attempt to murder) of the IPC.
