Amaravati: A disturbing video from Andhra Pradesh has emerged. In the video, a man was seen brutally beating his aged parents over a property dispute. He drags his mother by her hair, repeatedly slaps her as she cries and pleads with him to stop. In one frame, the son can be seen kicking her so hard that she falls to the ground, yet he continues his assault.
As his mother lay on the ground wailing, he turns to his father and slaps him. A little girl was seen standing next to the man, witnessing the scene. His parents’ refusal led to a violent confrontation, where Srinivas physically assaulted them. The incident, in which the elderly couple was injured, prompted immediate police intervention, resulting in Srinivas being detained by a police station in another city.
Some onlookers were also seen in the video, none of whom came forward to help. A case has been registered and the man recognised as Srinivasulu Reddy has been detained in connection with the incident that occurred in Annamayya district on Saturday.
Srinivasulu was reportedly angry over the three-acre land given to his elder brother Manohar Reddy and wanted his parents – Lakshmamma and Venkatraman – to give it away. The parents told the police that even when they agreed to sign at his request, he continued to assault them.
Local police inspector Yuvaraju said, “Anyone ill-treating their parents is liable for punishment. Parents and elders must report any such incident.”
The case of Venkatraman Reddy and Lakshmamma is not just a tragic story of a family broken due to greed, but also a call for society to consider the importance of compassion, patience and the enduring bonds of family, which should ideally be beyond materialistic pursuits. Needed As the community gathers around the elderly couple, offering support and solace, one can only hope that this event will inspire a broader conversation on the value of family harmony over wealth and property.
