Pune Elderly Couple Wins Case Against Son, But Tragedy Strikes Days Later
In a heartbreaking case of family neglect, an elderly couple in Pune had to take legal action against their only son for financial support. The court ruled in their favor, but tragedy struck soon after. The mother passed away just eight days after the verdict, and the father suffered a brain hemorrhage.
The couple had three daughters and had raised their son with immense struggle. However, after his marriage, he chose to live separately due to conflicts with his in-laws. Despite his father surviving on a small pension of ₹1,300, the son refused to provide any financial support. Left with no choice, the parents approached the court, which ordered the son to assist them financially.
However, just days later, the mother suffered a fatal heart attack. The situation worsened when the son initially refused to attend her funeral. It was only after repeated pleas from relatives that he agreed to perform the last rites. His wife, however, did not accompany him.
Now, with the father in a vulnerable state after a brain hemorrhage, concerns remain over who will care for him. The incident has sparked discussions about family responsibilities and the emotional toll of neglecting elderly parents.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the legal and moral duties children have toward their aging parents. It highlights the growing strain in family relationships and the tragic consequences of abandonment.
