A 70-year-old woman has accused her daughter and son-in-law of duping her of over Rs 18.50 lakh in Naraingarh.

The suspects have been identified as complainant’s daughter Baljinder Kaur, son-in-law Pawan Kumar and Baljinder Kaur’s sons Shivam and Sagar.

The woman alleged she had given a cheque of Rs 18,500 to her daughter as she needed some money but her daughter had withdrawn Rs 18.5 lakh from her account and purchased a truck from that money. She claimed they had reached a compromise over the issue but the suspects later tried to kill her by administering some intoxicanting substance and confining her in a room for two days.

Besides Rs 18.57 lakh, the suspects had earlier taken Rs 4 lakh from her, she alleged.

A case has been registered under sections 328, 342, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code at Naraingarh Police Station.
