Elderly Woman Dies After Alleged Assault in Morena Property Dispute
A tragic incident in Morena as an elderly woman dies after her son and daughter-in-law allegedly forced her to consume pesticide over a house dispute.
A horrific incident has shaken the Siddha Nagar area of Morena, Madhya Pradesh, where an elderly woman lost her life following a brutal assault allegedly carried out by her own son and daughter-in-law. The tragedy, which reportedly erupted from a bitter fight over property ownership, has left a family devastated and the local community in shock.
A Deadly Conflict Over Property
The victims, identified as Sovaran Singh Sikarwar and his wife Jaldevi Sikarwar, were allegedly targeted by their son, Satish, and his wife, Radha. According to reports, the conflict was driven by the couple's intense pressure on the elderly pair to transfer the ownership of their residence into their names.
The situation escalated into violence when the suspects allegedly attacked the elderly couple. In a particularly chilling turn of events, it is alleged that during the altercation, the suspects forced Jaldevi Sikarwar to consume wheat pesticide pills. Following the assault, Satish and Radha fled the scene, leaving the elderly couple in a critical and life-threatening state.
Neighbors Rush Victims to Hospital
Witnessing the aftermath, neighbors immediately stepped in to assist the injured Sovaran Singh Sikarwar. They rushed both victims to the district hospital in an attempt to save their lives. However, upon arrival, medical professionals declared Jaldevi Sikarwar dead.
The body of the deceased has been sent for a post-mortem examination to determine the precise circumstances leading to her death. The City Kotwali police have been notified and have officially launched an investigation into the matter.
Family Allegations and Background
Details emerging from the family paint a grim picture of the household dynamics. Sovaran Singh Sikarwar, originally from Galetha village, has three sons: Rajesh, Manendra, and Satish. While Rajesh and Manendra live outside of Morena, Satish resides in the city with his wife, Radha.
Relatives have raised serious concerns regarding Satish's behavior, alleging that he is a habitual drinker. Manendra Singh, the son of the deceased, has asserted that his parents were subjected to relentless and constant pressure by Satish and Radha to sign over their property.
