Duo claims assault by daughter, her husband
The Delhi High Court has ordered the city police to ensure sufficient protection for a senior citizen couple who claimed that they were being “tormented and physically beaten” by their daughter and son-in-law living with them.
Justice Vibhu Bakhru said the couple can also approach their area District Magistrate under Rule 22 of Delhi Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules (DMWPSCR) for their protection.
Rule 22 of DMWPSCR lays down guidelines for protection of life and property of senior citizens. It says that complaints of senior citizens shall be promptly attended to by the local police.
