The elderly victim was identified as Sarla Batra, 70, who lived with his son Vishal, his wife Neelika and their grandchildren. She alleged that her daughter-in-law wanted to take over the family’s property and tried to send her to an old age home.

On the day of the incident, the daughter-in-law reportedly started to abuse the elderly woman over a minor household issue. When the woman’s son tried to intervene, Neelika called her father and brother for help, who barged in the house and verbally abused Sarla and started thrashing her son.

When the elderly woman tried to save her son, Neelima attacked her, pushed her to the ground, kicked her and even hit her head against the wall. The accused also threatened to kill them if they lodged a complaint, according to reports.

Initially, the police reportedly did not file a case despite being shown the CCTV footage, allegedly under the influence of the accused. Later, they approached senior police officers, and an FIR was finally registered.
