Nasir then began to beat him with a wooden rod until the boy fainted.
She said that Nasir then tried to revive the child and failing in the effort took the body to his father’s house in Sameej Abad colony before he fled. The deceased’s brother, Rawal, told his grandfather, Muhammad Ramazan what had happened. Ramazan then informed the police.

This is extreme brutality. An innocent poor boy, simply, was asking for food, because he was hungry, then his brutal and evil father killed him. I feel very sad for the poor innocent boy who was killed by his father (the true evil beast).
After that, he doesn't deserve to eat again
