Moodushedde: Video of daughter brutally assaulting mother goes viral
Mangaluru: A shocking video of a daughter brutally assaulting her mother at the Moodushedde Gram Panchayat premises on the outskirts of the city has gone viral, triggering widespread outrage on social media.
The mother and daughter reside in Shivanagara, Moodushedde, and were reportedly involved in frequent quarrels. The mother had filed complaints earlier at Kavoor police station, following which the police had counselled both and sent them back home, sources said.
Recently, the mother approached the Moodushedde Gram Panchayat to lodge a complaint against her daughter. According to reports, while she was submitting the complaint three days ago, the daughter pushed her. Although the mother retaliated, the daughter became enraged and assaulted her mother in an inhumane manner using a slipper. The incident was recorded on a mobile phone by individuals present in the Gram Panchayat office and the video has since spread widely across social media platforms, drawing anger from the public.
Several elected representatives and staff members of the Gram Panchayat are seen in the video. Social media users have criticized them for merely filming the incident instead of intervening to stop the assault or reporting the matter to the police. Critics say that the police should have called both parties for inquiry and taken suo motu action for the public assault.
As of now, no case has been registered regarding the altercation between the mother and daughter. The Mangaluru City Police Commissioner has stated that strict legal action will be taken if anyone files a complaint against the person who recorded and circulated the video with the intention of making it viral for higher views.

Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted to probe a second case of sexual assault against expelled Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, police officials said on Friday.
The SIT will be led by G Poonguzhali, Assistant Inspector General at the Police Headquarters.

Following this, the Crime Branch registered a case and launched an investigation.
Crime Branch officials said the email complaint contained only the sender's email ID and no other contact details.
As part of the probe, they have sent a reply email requesting that the complainant contact them and provide her statement.
The complainant has alleged that she was sexually assaulted under the false promise of marriage, a Crime Branch official said.
However, details such as the location and date of the alleged incident are not currently available to the police.
The SIT will attempt to trace the sender of the email and record her statement, which is crucial for further investigation, the officer said.
Mamkootathil was expelled from the Congress party on Thursday after a court here rejected his anticipatory bail petition in another rape case.
Police said he is currently absconding, and a manhunt is underway in Kerala and neighbouring states.
