The child, Sayantika Samajpati, was manhandled by the goons while his parents had fractured limbs in the attack which took place on their home apparently to discourage them from casting their ballots.

However, the attacked family members refused to budge and said they would cast their votes, come what may. The little Toto told the media that some people hit him in his hand.
