A gut-wrenching video of a man and his wife mercilessly assaulting his paternal grandmother with a stick in Bhopal went viral on Wednesday, leading to the arrest of the couple as they were trying to flee the city. The trigger for the inhumane treatment was the woman – who appears to be at least in her 70s – not cooking food to the couple’s liking, said police officials.
The man and his spouse reside in the Jahangirabad neighborhood of Bhopal, and according to their neighbors, they frequently beat up the widow. The couple’s house window was used by a neighbor to record the latest assault covertly, and on Wednesday morning, the video went viral.
The footage shows the grandmother-in-law standing on the edge of a bed and her grandson sitting in front of her while she is sitting on the floor of the home. The younger woman chastises the older one before twisting her arm. Her grandson covers her mouth and holds her down in his lap as she starts to scream.
His wife then begins hitting her repeatedly with a stick. After an agonisingly long time, the man lets his grandmother go, only to elbow her in the back as his wife hits her on the head with the stick, before pinning her down again.
After the video was widely circulated, the Jahangirabad police began looking for the couple and caught them as they were attempting to leave the city.
