Woman pours boiling oil on mother-in-law in Andhra's Krishna

In a shocking incident, police detained a woman in the Krishna district for allegedly pouring hot boiling oil on her mother-in-law.

The incident took place in Mandapadu village, Gudivada mandal where Swaroopa allegedly poured hot oil on her mother-in-law Chukka Lakshmi on Saturday night.

According to V Durgarao, Inspector, Gudivada Two Town Circle Police, Chukka Lakshmi (55) has been staying with her son Sivanarayana and daughter-in-law Swaroopa in a small thatched hut in Mandapadu village.

Chukka Lakshmi has recently got some money from Government's welfare scheme. Son Siva asked his mother to give money to repair the house as the rainy season is approaching.
