A shocking video of a 17-year-old beating his mother with a broom went viral on social media on Saturday.
The video, shot by his elder sister, shows the mother in her early 50s, screaming in pain, as her son thrashes her with a broom. When the sister tries to stop him, he asks her to sit aside.
He first objects to her “badmouthing him” and forces her to stop discussing about him with neighbours. He beats her, saying, “If you continue talking like this, I will continue beating like this.’’
He also stated that he doesn’t care if his mother files a complaint against him.
On seeing the video, the Chennammanakere Achukattu Police in Bengaluru decided to take action against the minor.
The police also tried to talk to the mother but she refused to give a statement. Perhaps she was afraid of being further beaten by her son, the police said.
“The son was upset with her mother as she allegedly badmouthed him in the neighbourhood. Recently, the woman was seen talking to her neighbours on the future of her son as he was not serious about life and faring badly in studies,” said the police.
However, the police warned the boy of dire consequences if he repeated the same and made sure he apologised to his mother. They also got an undertaking signed by him.
