A 13-year-old boy, who studies in class VI, was tied to a tree and beaten mercilessly with a stick by his father when he expressed his desire to attend school instead of working as a labourer in UP's Bareilly. The child sustained multiple injuries and was rescued by his 22-year-old sister who took him to Bareilly Cantt police station and reported the matter. The father is on the run, officials said on Tuesday. The boy's sister said, "On Sunday evening, when I came to know of my father's cruelty from locals, I rushed to my brother's rescue. My father hurled abuses at me and said he won't let my brother go to school."
