Details from the Video
In the video, Rita is seen sitting on a bed alongside her mother. The assault begins with verbal abuse and escalates to physical violence. Rita delivers a hard blow to her mother’s leg, bites her thigh, and continuously pulls her hair. At one point, she asks, “Will you live forever?” while further assaulting her. A male voice can be heard in the background, although his identity and role remain unclear. The brutality displayed in the footage has shocked viewers and intensified calls for justice.
Family Complaint and Police Action
Following the video’s viral spread on social media, Rita’s brother, Amardeep Singh, filed a police complaint alleging that his sister had been holding their mother captive and subjecting her to both physical and mental harassment in an effort to secure a property transfer. In response, police at Azad Nagar Police Station, led by Station Head Officer Bijender Singh and Inspector Sadhuram, registered a case under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage from the area and gathering evidence to determine the sequence of events.
Background: The Property Dispute
According to the complaint, Rita, who had married Sanjay Punia from a village near Rajgarh two years ago, returned to her maternal home shortly thereafter. Once back, she allegedly initiated a series of actions aimed at taking control of the family property. Singh claims that Rita sold a family property in Kurukshetra for ₹65 lakh and retained the money while confining their mother at home, pressuring her to transfer the remaining assets to her name. Additionally, Singh accused her of restricting his access to the family home and threatening to file false allegations against him.
Community Reaction and Next Steps
Local political figures and community members have expressed shock and condemnation over the incident, calling for a thorough investigation and swift justice. As the case unfolds, authorities are expected to intensify efforts to locate additional witnesses and gather further evidence. The case has also raised broader concerns about the safety and welfare of elderly individuals in the region, prompting renewed calls for stricter enforcement of laws designed to protect senior citizens.
The violent assault captured in the viral video has not only stirred public indignation but also spotlighted underlying issues of familial discord and property disputes in Haryana. With the police actively investigating and community leaders demanding accountability, this case may prompt significant scrutiny of how vulnerable family members are protected under the law.
