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.

Prayagraj (UP) (PTI): A special POCSO court here on Saturday ordered the Jhunsi Police Station SHO to register an FIR against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati to investigate allegations of sexual abuse of boys.
Last week, the court of Special Judge (POCSO Act) Vinod Kumar Chaurasia reserved its decision on an application filed by Ashutosh Brahmachari Maharaj and others under Section 173(4) of the BNS after examining the evidence and recording the statements of the victimised 'batooks', the boys, as they are called at the ashram, Vidya Math.
The petitioner had filed the application seeking direction for an FIR against Avimukteshwaranand under sections 69, 74, 75, 76, 79, and 109 (all related to sexual assault) of the BNS, as well as sections 3/5/9 and 17 of the POCSO Act.
The court accepted the petition and ordered the police to conduct an investigation.
"Now we will get justice," Ashutosh Brahmachari said.
"Starting today, we are organising a Sanatan Yatra from here to Vidya Math (Varanasi). We will demonstrate how children are sexually abused on the fifth floor of Vidya Math. There is ample evidence of child abuse there. We have presented all the evidence to the court and will also provide it to the police," he said.
Avimukteshwarananda has been in the headlines for his confrontation with the organisers of the Magh Mela in Prayagraj. He accused the administration he was prevented from bathing on Mauni Amavasya.
