When the police came in to enquire what had happened, the girl said she was being punished by her mother for misbehaving and refusing to go to school.
 
Hearing that her mother would return soon to unchain her, the police waited at the scene. After 10 minutes, the lady arrived and admitted she had punished the girl because she often refused to go to school.

Though it was not clear for how long the girl was tied to the chain, the pictures circulated on social media suggest it was taken after school hours. With a ping bag lying at a distance and blue water bottle near her feet, it has pained Netizens of the world and many questioned how could the mother not be punished.
 
ACP Sadari however, said officers were investigating the case under a local Child Act dealing with neglect and exposure of a child to physical injury, the report added.
