According to the report, the family was last in media in the year 2013, when her first kid, named Rahul, ended up in intensive care ward at a hospital in India’s Viluppuram District after neighbours heard him screaming and discovered the child on fire in his cot.

The family was recently again in media when the second child also caught fire and ended in hospital with 10 percent burn in his feet.

The doctors claimed that the mother was suffering from Munchausen by proxy syndrome – a mental illness whereby a parent seeks to harm their child in order to get attention.

And because of it they refused to hand over the kid to his mother.

However, what happened next is still unclear.
