The Story in Brief
A CCTV video of a man dragging his 75-year-old mother by her hair on a road in Jabalpur has gone viral, sparking outrage. The incident occurred on Friday in Ashok Vihar Colony. The man, identified as Raju Vishwakarma, allegedly chased his mother Mitra Vishwakarma, grabbed her by her hair, dragged her and hit her, all while passersby watched.
Neighbour Somesh Soni said Raju came home drunk and started beating his mother before dragging her outside. Residents claim Raju frequently drinks and harasses people, and that past complaints to Ranjhi police station were ignored. Police in-charge Umesh Golhani said a team has been sent and legal action will be taken against the suspect.
The Indian Opinion
This case has rightly triggered anger, but some narratives focus solely on the son's drunkenness as an excuse. The real issue is the repeated failure of neighbours and local police to intervene despite prior complaints. Elder abuse is a crime, not a family matter to be ignored. The test now is whether the police will file charges promptly, preserve CCTV evidence, and ensure a medical exam for the victim.
