The viral video
The video lasts for around three minutes and shows Rita's unflinching brutal assault on her mother Nirmala Devi. A particularly disturbing part of the video shows Rita beating her mother on her thigh and then biting the area, ignoring her screams of pain.
Rita then says in the video, “This is fun, I will drink your blood,” and continues her assault, including dragging her mother around the room by her hair. She slaps her multiple times.
Rita also says in the video, “Will you live forever?” and taunts her mother.
A man can be heard off-camera saying something and then Rita kicks her mother off the bed, hitting her continuously and shouting at her, saying “You are forcing me to do this”.
Rita’s brother files complaint
After the video went viral online, Rita’s brother, Amardeep Singh, filed a police complaint alleging that Rita’s motivations for abusing her mother were due to a property dispute.
He said that Rita has been allegedly keeping Nirmala Devi captive in her maternal home and harassing her physically and mentally to get her to sign over her mother's properties in her name.
The SHO of the Azad Nagar police station, Inspector Sadhuram, said a case has been registered against Rita under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

Greed turns ugly
In his complaint, Amardeep Singh alleged that Rita started harassing her mother over property issues after she moved back into her maternal home. Rita had married Sanjay Punia from a village near Rajgarh two years ago, but returned soon after to her maternal home. Her husband too joined her at her maternal home.

Singh further alleged that Rita already pocketed ₹65 lakh after selling a family property in Kurukshetra. According to reports, he said that she had been keeping Nirmala Devi captive in her own house as she wanted the deed to the house transferred in her name as well.
Singh claimed that Rita barred him from visiting his mother or the house with threats that she would make false allegations against him.
