The boy used to live here with his grandmother, who died yesterday.
An initial investigation revealed that the accused, Asma (40), who is the daughter of the dead woman, was angry as her brother and sister-in-law (the boy's parents) did not come from Jhansi to Bhopal to attend the funeral of her mother, Hanumanganj police station in-charge Mahendra Singh Thakur said.
The accused, in a fit of anger, allegedly attacked her brother's son with a knife, injuring him seriously, he said.
