Kerala Minister for Health and Family Welfare Veena George said the incident was shocking and highly deplorable, The Indian Express reported.
“The director of the social welfare department was asked to probe and submit a report. The boy was seriously injured in the attack. His family came from Rajasthan to eke out a living. He was attacked without any provocation,” she said.
What is particularly heartening was the response of the people who rose up in support of the boy, which restores people’s faith in humanity. People were cheering, humanity exists, thank society! Another factor was no one was busy taking videos of the incident but rather rose in support of the boy, which got speedy justice.
