Once in a while, something happens which makes us question humanity and leaves us sad at the same time. Recently, a video surfaced on social media wherein a woman was seen thrashing her elderly mother-in-law. The video was shot by a neighbor of the woman and everyone expressed dismay at the turn of events. The incident was reported from Haryana's Mahendragarh district. Here's more.
Daughter-in-law hurled abuses at elderly, pulled her hair
The daughter-in-law Kanta Bai can be seen mercilessly beating the woman, said to be 80 years old. The victim, identified as Chand Bai, was seen lying on the cot when Kanta started beating her. She pulled Chand's hair and hurled abuses. The defenseless elderly, who is a widow, cried. Narnaul Superintendent of Police Chander Mohan said Kanta considered Chand as a "burden".
Apparently, Kanta wanted Rs. 30,000 pension which Chand received
Reportedly, Chand's husband worked as Assistant Sub-Inspector in the Border Security Force. She used to receive a pension of Rs. 30,000. "She wanted to get Rs. 30,000 which victim drew as widow pension," a police official in the know said. Police took cognizance of the incident and arrested Kanta under IPC Sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation).

Student who shot video said the thrashing shocked her
The viral video was shot by a Delhi University student. "The woman was abusing and beating her old mother-in-law from quite some time. I did not know what to do. Then I decided to shoot it. I wasn't afraid as what she did was wrong," the student told ANI. Kanta, reportedly, ran away from the village after the video appeared, but was arrested.
A medical test of victim was conducted
Narnaul DSP (headquarters) Vinod Kumar said the victim confirmed the brutal assault. "The medical examination of the woman has also been conducted and we are waiting for its report," Kumar added. Just like everyone on social media, the incident caught the attention of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar too. He wrote on Twitter such actions shouldn't be tolerated in a civilized society.
