A Texas man has filed a lawsuit against a local Hindu temple, claiming that his son was branded with a hot iron during a cultural ceremony without his consent. The incident allegedly caused severe pain, permanent skin damage, infection, and emotional trauma to the child.
A Texas man is suing a local Hindu temple, alleging it branded his son with a hot iron during a cultural ceremony . Vijay Cheruvu, of Fort Bend County, said he did not give his consent for his son to participate in the event in August, during which he alleges several children were branded in front of a group of adults.
Photos of the 11-year-old child’s shoulders in the original complaint show scabbed-over burn scars, one in the shape of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh. Cheruvu’s attorney, Brant Stogner, said at the news conference: “This is not a ceremony that is widely used across Hinduism. This is something that’s a very small sect.” Stogner said that even if the child consented to the branding, it’s illegal in Texas to allow a minor to receive such a tattoo or mark.
