Ghaziabad Woman Caught on CCTV Assaulting In-Laws, Cites Father’s Police Rank
Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh — A disturbing CCTV video from Kavinagar’s Govindpuram area has gone viral, showing a woman named Aakanksha, reportedly a software engineer, violently assaulting her elderly mother-in-law. The footage, which has sparked widespread outrage, also captures Aakanksha's mother present at the scene, standing by passively during the assault.
Family Violence and Alleged Misuse of Power
In the video, Aakanksha is seen slapping, pushing, and dragging her mother-in-law, while hurling verbal abuses. According to neighbors and the victim’s family, this wasn’t an isolated incident but part of a pattern of escalating domestic abuse.
The situation took a troubling turn when Aakanksha allegedly claimed protection due to her father’s position as a police officer. "She threatened us, saying nothing would happen to her because her father is in the police," said a relative of the victim, requesting anonymity.
Police Acknowledge Video, Probe Underway
Ghaziabad police have acknowledged the viral video and confirmed an investigation is underway. “We are verifying the video’s authenticity and statements from both sides,” said SP (City) Nipun Agarwal. “Strict action will follow based on evidence.”
While no arrests have been made yet, officials confirmed that both families have been summoned for questioning. Women’s rights groups have also demanded swift justice and departmental action against any misuse of official power.
Conclusion:
This case underscores growing concerns about domestic violence and the alleged misuse of official privilege. As pressure mounts from the public and activists, all eyes are on the Ghaziabad police for transparent and impartial action.
