Man locks up 96-year-old mother in house, goes on holiday

A 96-year-old woman, a resident of Anandapur in India’s Odisha, was allegedly locked inside her house and left alone as her elder son went on a holiday on Saturday morning, reports the Times of India.
The woman was rescued by her daughter on Sunday afternoon. Later, she lodged a complaint with the Anandapur police.
Sabita Nath, who stays with her elder son Bikash, a bank employee, was sleeping inside her room when her son allegedly left locking the door from outside.
‘When I woke up I found they were all gone. There was no way I could contact him. I could understand their intentions, but I am too old to do anything,’ Nath said.
‘But we could not imagine that Bikash would do such a thing,’ said Madan, younger son of Sabita.
If this young sister and brother care so much for their mother why don’t they take her in their own house instead of keeping her with Bikash ? Crocodile tears from the sister.
‘When my sister saw the house locked from outside, she sensed something wrong. When the door was broken we found my mother lying on her bed,’ he added.
‘I had a few biscuits to eat. When I tried to eat them I felt like throwing up. I did not have any energy left to go to the washroom. So, I threw up inside the room and cleaned it myself,’ the 96-year-old said.
