In a shocking incident, an elderly woman died after his own son slapped her following an argument. The woman has been identified as 76-year-old Avtar Kaur. The incident happened when Kaur reportedly got into an argument with her son and her daughter-in-law over parking issues with their neighbours on Monday afternoon. CCTV camera footage shows the son slapping Kaur, following which she becomes unconscious and falls to the ground. Her daughter-in-law tries to pick her up even as her son looks on.
The woman was then taken to a nearby hospital, where she was declared brought dead by the doctors. Bindapur police have registered a case against Kaur's 45-year-old son Ranbir under Section 304 (punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and arrested him. According to the police, before the incident, there was an argument between the woman and one of her neighbours over parking. A PCR call was also made by the neighbour, but when the police reached the spot, the complainant told them that the issue was sorted and she did not want to pursue the matter anymore. Subsequently, Kaur's son confronted her about "picking up a fight" with the neighbours. During the ensuing argument between the two, the son slapped his mother, a senior police officer said.
