A woman in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, has been arrested on charges of attempt to murder, after a brutal video of her beating up and torturing her elderly mother-in-law went viral online. Uploaded by social activist Kundan Srivastava on his Facebook page, the video was attached with an appeal to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to take action against Sangeeta Jain.
In the footage just over a minute long, Sangeeta is seen unforgivably assaulting 70 year old Rajrani Jain, with a brick and trying to strangle her with a rope. She also uses a cloth to make a noose around her neck in an attempt to kill her. The police have registered a case under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code against the woman, as told by SP Subhash Singh Baghel. Sangeeta’s husband Sandip Kumar Jain had installed a CTV camera in their home to catch her red-handed as she had been assaulting his parents for quite some time.
“This has been happening for quite some time now. She used to assault and abuse my parents very often. I complained about her but no one used to listen to me. Then after waiting for two years, I installed a CCTV camera expecting that she will fix her ways, but she didn’t. That day she crossed all the limits. I installed the camera to unmask her since the law is on the woman’s side when these types of cases are concerned,” he said. Sangeeta and her husband Sandeep have been married for 7 years and a divorce case is going on. She has allegedly filed a false report against him.
