KOLLAM: The entire state was shocked upon seeing a video in which an 80-year-old woman was brutally tortured by her daughter-in-law. Now, 80-year-old Eliyamma has opened up about the cruelties of her daughter-in-law. Eliyamma said that Manjumol, her daughter-in-law ,used to constantly beat her and ask her to leave the home.

"Manju used to constantly hit me on the face and back. She also assaulted my son. She had hit me on the head with an iron rod. Thinking about the kids, I did not say this to anyone. She had once hit my son with a Nilavilakku. I have said all that I can remember to the police. She did not allow me to come out of the room or enter the kitchen saying that I don't have cleanliness. I came out of the room only when the daughter-in-law went to school. She had not allowed the children to come near me saying that they too would be spoilt," Eliyamma said.

The video of the torture that took place in Naduvilakkara in Kollam a year ago had recently circulated on social media. The video showed Manju torturing and scolding the 80-year-old woman before pushing her down to the floor. The video was recorded by a relative.
