Secret date turns into public drama
Rohit, the young man at the centre of the controversy, had reportedly told his mother, Sushila, that he was going elsewhere before heading out on his bike to meet his girlfriend on Saturday. However, fate had other plans. While crossing the road, Sushila spotted the couple enjoying a plate of chowmein by a roadside stall — and decided to intervene.
Eyewitnesses say Sushila lost her temper and began scolding her son. When the girlfriend attempted to calm the situation, Sushila allegedly grabbed her by the hair and dragged her. Matters escalated further when bystanders called Rohit's father, Shivkaran, who arrived at the scene and reportedly joined his wife in assaulting their son.
