    The family lived in Roadpali village of Navi Mumbai town.

    They allegedly burned the child with candle, causing injuries all over her body, he said.


    The girl's father, a vegetable vendor, on Wednesday lodged a complaint, based on which the two women were charged under relevant provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, the official said.
