A disturbing video from Gurdaspur, Punjab, has gone viral, showing a daughter-in-law physically abusing her elderly mother-in-law in front of her son. In the footage, the victim pleads repeatedly with her son while being slapped, hit with a glass, and verbally abused.


The incident reportedly took place on Sunday. Family sources say it escalated after Harjeet Kaur caught her mother-in-law recording one of her outbursts.

In her police complaint, widow Gurbachan Kaur accused her daughter-in-law of long-term physical and mental harassment, including pressure to transfer family property into her name. She said the abuse worsened after her husband, a retired Block Primary Education Officer, passed away four months ago.
