NEW DELHI: A former staffer of the Union ministry of home affairs has been arrested for allegedly harassing his mother and spitting on her.
According to the cops, the 81-year-old woman was living with her elder son, who earlier worked as a section officer with the Union ministry of home affairs. Her younger son secretly recorded a video of his elder brother spitting on their mother and informed the police, following which the accused was arrested.
A senior police officer said the younger son approached them on Tuesday about his brother Anil Pande (65) torturing their mother. “The younger son provided the video clip of the harassment. The younger son said that his mother was the owner of the property where they resided,” the policeman added.
In his complaint, the man told the police officers that his mother was very weak and paralytic, and could not speak or stand without any help. “We registered a case under Persons with Disabilities Act and Pande was arrested,” said a senior police officer.
Last week, a 76-year-old woman had died after her son allegedly slapped her outside their house in southwest Delhi’s Dwarka on Monday. As per the police, the woman and her son had an argument over her picking fights with their neighbours over parking, during which the son attacked her. He was later arrested by the cops.
A CCTV footage of the second incident also made rounds of social media, wherein the man can be seen arguing with his elderly mother. All of a sudden, the man is seen slapping the woman hard, who collapses and falls unconscious. She was identified as Avtar Kaur and the son as Ranbir.
