MADURAI: Police have registered a case against a retired revenue inspector for leaving his octogenarian mother locked in his home at Karaikudi in Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu.
Police said Sadguru, 80, had been living with her son, K Rajendran of Prabu Nagar, after the demise of her husband, Kathiresan, a few years ago. She was unable to walk, police said.
Around ten days ago, Rajendran went to Bengaluru with his family, after locking his mother in a room near the front portion of his house. He had kept some food and a few bottles of mineral water near her bed.
Neighbours heard her feeble cries on Tuesday morning. They found the house locked and alerted the Karaikudi North police.
The police reached the spot and broke open the door. They found the old woman sitting on the floor in a hapless position. She seemed to be emaciated. Some stale food and a few bottles of water were found near her.
Sub-inspector Parthiban informed the woman's daughter, Muthulakshmi, who is living in the same area. Muthulakshmi reached there. Sadguru told her daughter that she had not been able to eat food.
Muthulakshmi alleged that her brother had ill-treated their mother and that he had done so with an eye on her property.
