She had to arrange for food from people in the colony. Her son and his wife had left the house without informing her. They had also withdrawn money from her bank account. She came to know about it when she went to the bank to withdraw money. She tried to talk to her son and his wife, but they behaved very rudely with her.
Later, she lodged a police complaint. The case was transferred to the Dwarkapuri police station and, after the investigations, the police registered a case against the woman’s son and his wife under the relevant sections of the law. Further investigations into the case are underway.
