In a disturbing incident in Jawahar Nagar Camp, a son’s addiction to alcohol led him to physically assault his own mother in an attempt to steal money for his habit. The victimized mother, known for her livelihood of planting fruit trees, endured repeated abuse from her son, who prioritized his addiction over her well-being.
According to eyewitnesses, the son’s aggressive behavior escalated when his craving for alcohol intensified. Ignoring his mother’s pleas, he resorted to violence in an attempt to obtain cash from her. However, the community’s swift intervention prevented further harm to the mother, as they rescued her from the assailant and publicly humiliated the son for his reprehensible actions.
Expressing her anguish, the mother revealed the heartbreaking reality of her son’s alcohol dependency, which subjected her to daily verbal and physical abuse. Despite her unwavering love and support, she found herself at the mercy of her son’s addiction-fueled aggression.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of substance abuse on families and communities, underscoring the urgent need for support systems and interventions to address addiction-related issues.
