A police inspector in Telangana has come to the rescue of an old woman who was allegedly denied food and not looked after properly by her daughter-in-law following her son's death. The daughter-in-law, who had remarried, had allegedly been trying to force the 70-year-old woman out of the latter's house, Jagtial rural circle Inspector R Prakash said.
Upset over the behaviour, the elderly woman came to the Jagtial police station Monday. She told Prakash that she is a native of Lingampet village in Jagtial district.
Her husband died long ago and she had been staying in their old house with her only son and daughter-in-law. About five years ago, her son also died, according to the police official.
Her daughter-in-law married again recently and was staying in the same house with her second husband, he said. Since she married again, the daughter-in-law had allegedly been trying to force the old woman out of the house, the inspector said.
The daughter-in-law had allegedly stopped giving her food a few days ago. The inspector dropped the woman at her home and then counselled the daughter-in-law to take care of her.
He also provided rice and other items to the old woman. The police officer told the daughter-in-law that law would take its course if she failed to take proper care of her mother-in-law.
