Disabled Indian boy, 9, tied by his leg to bus stop on scorching summer's day so his grandmother can go to work

                       

Lakhan Kale cannot hear or speak and suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, so his grandmother and carer ties him up to keep him safe while she goes to work, selling toys and flower garlands on the city's roadsides. Lakhan's father died several years ago and his mother walked out on the family, his grandmother Sakhubai Kale (right) said. But a photograph of him tied up appeared in a local newspaper last week, and he has since been taken into care at a government-run institution.
