Bantwal: Elderly mother files complaint against son, his wife, says tied, assaulted inside toilet
Bantwal: An elderly woman has filed a police complaint against her son and daughter-in-law at the Bantwal Town Police Station, accusing the two of tying her inside the toilet and subjecting her to physical torture.
The incident is said to have occurred at the Banjanapadav Karavali in Bantwal Taluk, and the elderly complainant has been identified as Girija (70).
“I was living with my son Hariram and daughter-in-law Pooja at Karavali. In January, I had taken a fall and hurt my hip. Since then, I have been tied inside the toilet and tortured by them”, the victimized elderly mother Girija has accused in the complaint.
Despite having fallen and hurt my hip, neither my son nor my daughter-in-law provided me with medical treatment. After tying me inside the toilet, they used to just offer me one meal a day and one glass of tea. Both used to constantly shout at me saying ‘the old woman is not dying’, abusing me. My daughter-in-law used to scold me in Tulu saying ‘I will not give you food, eat dirt and die’ if I asked for food out of extreme hunger”, the victim revealed in her complaint at the police station.
Upon receiving information about a senior citizen being abused, the Senior Citizen Committee people rescued Girija from the toilet. Her rescuers tended to her and later admitted her to the Wenlock hospital in Mangaluru, where she is currently receiving treatment, the police informed.
The police have recorded a complaint in this regard and undertaken an inquiry.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
