Meanwhile, his elder daughter repeatedly strikes him with a stick as he screams in pain. A voice in the background chillingly says, "Don't spare him today, break him completely!" before the assault continues.
The daughter seen attacking her father in the video was married on March 1. Harendra’s brother, Bunty, claims that his sibling endured regular physical abuse, and the video provides clear evidence of this cruelty.
City Kotwali police in-charge, Dipendra Yadav, stated that the exact cause of death—whether suicide or murder—will only be confirmed after the post-mortem report. A panel of doctors in Gwalior has conducted the autopsy, and the investigation is ongoing. The viral video has been included as evidence, and authorities assure that appropriate action will be taken based on emerging facts.
