According to police, the incident falls under the Nawabganj police station area of Gonda district, as reported by Amar Ujala. Sarita, a resident of Rewa village, submitted a written complaint to the police. In her complaint, she said that her son Brajesh Maurya works as a loco pilot in the Indian Railways.

She told police that her son had married a woman named Anita about a year ago in what she described as a love marriage. The marriage reportedly took place after the couple met through Facebook.

Sarita alleged that disputes started in the family soon after the marriage.

Allegations of repeated disputes

In her complaint, Sarita claimed that her daughter-in-law Anita had often argued with family members and that conflicts had been taking place inside the house.

According to the complaint, a serious dispute happened on February 28. During the argument, Sarita alleged that Anita abused Brajesh verbally and physically assaulted him.

She further claimed that when she tried to intervene and stop the fight, she was also abused and beaten. Sarita also told the police that Anita later called her brother to the house.

Brother allegedly joins the clash

According to the complaint, Anita’s brother arrived at the house soon after being called. Sarita alleged that he also took part in the assault and beat Brajesh and her using sticks.

She further claimed that property inside the house was damaged during the incident. According to her statement, the door of the house, lights and several items in the kitchen were broken.

Sarita has asked the police to take action in the matter.
