A household argument turned tragic in Maharashtra's Palghar when a seven-year-old boy died after being beaten by his mother for demanding chicken for lunch on Sunday. The woman also assaulted the child, a 10-year-old girl, using a chapati roller (rolling pin) following which she needed medical attention.

The shocking incident came to light when the neighbours heard the loud wailing of the girl from the apartment in Palghar's Kashipada area. The police arrived after being alerted by the locals and shifted the girl to a hospital.
