A 76-year-old woman from Vikhroli East has approached police alleging sustained harassment, neglect, and being denied entry into her home by her daughter-in-law after her son’s death in November 2023.

Family dispute

The complainant said she lived with her elder son’s family at their Tagore Nagar residence, where tensions escalated following his death. She alleged her daughter-in-law demanded a share in the property, frequently picked fights, and verbally abused her. Speaking to mid-day, the woman further claimed she was neglected and denied necessities. “She would not give me food on time. My daughters, who stay nearby, had to take care of me. Sometimes they would take me with them because I couldn’t stay there,” she said.
