Rahul Karnan and his newborn brother were admitted to hospital in two separate cases of spontaneous combustion, Nedimoliyur, Villupuram, India.
The boys mother Rajeshwari Karnan claim her babies spontaneously burst into flames. The first incident took place in 2013 when her then 3 months old son Rahul was rushed to hospital with extensive burn injuries. The baby allegedly went on to suffer three more similar accidents following which the village community ostracized Rajeshwari and her family.
In January this year Mrs Karnan's 10 days old child, who has been named, was also admitted to hospital. His mother claims his feet had spontaneously combusted while she was in the bath. The boy had 10 percent burn damage to his feet. The baby has been in hospital for more than a month, now he is stable, ready for discharge but doctors are refusing to release a baby back to mother.
They feel Rajeshwari is abusing her children in order to,get attention. Thus condition is called Munchausen by proxy syndrome - a mental illness whereby a parent seeks to harm their child to get attention.
