JAIPUR — In a shocking incident a daughter-in-law has been arrested for keeping her 85-year-old widow mother-in-law confined in inhuman conditions and causing her physical and mental harm for the past 18 years.
The tale of untold miseries being inflicted on Pawan Kumari, the hapless widow, came to light on Saturday when a private TV channel telecast horrible pictures of woman being confined in a kennel shaped tin shed in the posh Malviya Nagar locality of Jaipur.
What is more shocking is that the widow hails from a jeweller’s family and has four well-off sons, who ‘allowed’ their mother to be treated like an animal.
Pictures of the widow were beamed across the TV screens, the police and many women’s organisations rushed to the spot and rescued the widow. The police immediately arrested the daughter-in-law Vidya Jain (53) while her husband Prakash Jain, a rich businessman, could not be traced as he was out of Jaipur.
After taken to a rehabilitation home for the aged, the widow narrated her tale of torture, which she was undergoing since her husband died about 18 years ago.
The physical and mental torture over the years had taken such a heavy toll on the old and fragile woman that it took a while for her to identify herself and narrated her story to the police.
Pawan Kumari told the police that she was kept in a tin shed measuring 5x3 feet, which was so small that she could not even stand. The roof of tin sheet has been put up a few days ago, the widow said, adding that she was kept locked up all the time and was allowed out for half an hour daily for taking bath and going to toilet. She had to wash her clothes and clean the plush house driveway and was beaten by the daughter-in-law if she could not follow her instructions properly. She was given leftover food to eat.
Many neighbours confirmed that the victim was telling the truth. A neighbour said the couple kept their mother in inhuman conditions and was treated like an animal." Another neighbour added: “Bruises and scratch marks on her body shows that the woman was beaten up regularly.” Superintendent of Police V.K. Singh said daughter-in-law Vidya Jain had been arrested for torturing her mother-in-law and causing her physically and mental harm.
