Kolkata, Jun 26 (IBNS): A woman from Bidhanpalli area under Titagarh police station in North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal was arrested on Thursday for allegedly rubbing chili powder on her adopted 6-year-old daughter's genitals, reports said.

According to reports, the accused woman, Sandhya Sen allegedly rubbed chili powder on her adopted 6-year-old daughter's genitals as the child peed on the bed while sleeping.

The girl fainted and was admitted to the R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital on Thursday night.
