Hi I want to raise a complaint about a video forwarded to me through WhatsApp, wherein an approx. 3 years old girl child is being tourchered by an Psychopath with shaving blade. Baby is bleeding crying. He is twisting her hand an showing the bleeding to the camera. This is a freaky video and am not sure about the age of the video and the source. It was forwarded by a Doctor in our friends group. Please suggest how this case will be taken up or handled further. I can be contacted for any queries or questions.
