The 6-year-old boy who was kicked has been identified as Ganesh and is a member of a migrant Rajasthani family. The family had migrated to the city in search of a job. The boy on the eve of November 3 was playing in the area and happened to lean against the white car of the accused while it stood at the roadside.
The accused Shihshad is seen brutally kicking the child away from his car. The boy who went into shock after the incident reportedly suffered a severe back injury. A few people in the Thalassery area of the state who witnessed the incident gathered at the spot after the accused kicked the boy.
