“Recently retired DSP Pratipal Singh was assaulted by his wife Maya Yadav and sons Akash and Abhas. They tied him, snatched his mobile and ATM card. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway,” one of the police officials was quoted as saying by India Today.
The locals stated that the ex-officer has been living separately for the past 15 years, adding that his family members wanted a share of his retirement money, which he received in 2025 upon retirement.
The retired officer has lodged a formal complaint against his family members, and a probe has been launched into the matter. However, his family members claimed that they wanted the retired officer to live with them, as his “mental condition is not stable.”
