A grandpa in Pune was hurt very badly by his son-in-law.

The son-in-law attacked him with a sharp tool called a sickle.

The wife had been staying with her parents with her two children for the past four months.

The husband kept asking her to return and even threatened her family.

One day, he went to the place where the grandpa works as a security guard.

He hit the grandpa with the sickle on his face and arm, and the grandpa fell down.
