Narrating her ordeal in the video, the young girl said that the stepmother put a kitchen knife on fire and when it became hot, she placed it on her face. The woman also got hold of her hand and placed it directly on the fire.

The young girl said she is scared of telling her father about her ordeal in the hands of his wife because it will earn her more punishment from the woman.
