Recently, an old video resurfaced on social media that shows a boy tied to an electric pole and crying aloud. A woman is also seen tussling with the boy holding something in her hand. As it seems, the woman was trying to put something on the boy’s face and was being resisted.
The woman calls out for help and a girl approaches the boy. She holds his hands while the woman applies ‘chilli powder’ to his face and eyes. The boy continues to cry aloud, but, the woman and the girl don't show any mercy.
As claimed, the incident took place in Telangana’s Kodad. The woman came up with a unique treatment after she found her 15-year-old son was becoming a ganja addict. She tied him to the pole and rubbed chilli powder on his eyes. She didn’t free him until he promised to quit.

While some have come in support of the concerned mother, others have expressed worries over the growing addiction to psychoactive drugs among youths.
