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.
