"The boy had apparently torn some posters, and because of that he was beaten up by some men. Six people were named in the complaint but no arrests have been made so far," police circle inspector Sisir Kumar Mitra said.

Talking about his ordeal, the boy said: "I tore the posters to make a kite for myself. But some men beat me up, gagged my mouth, tied up my legs and threw me away."

While the family has alleged the involvement of Trinamool Congress ativists as the torn posters were of Saokat Molla, the party's candidate from Canning East. The ruling party denied the charges.
