Thane: A 55-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by her daughter and son-in-law after a domestic dispute turned violent in a Wagle Estate tenement area, officials said Saturday. A case has been registered against the couple.Authorities said the clash erupted on Friday in the low-income settlement in the Indira Nagar area after water spillage from the daughter’s upper-floor unit into her mother’s room downstairs. This ignited an already simmering property-related dispute between the mother and daughter, leading to a fresh argument that eventually resulted in the assault.“The 38-year-old daughter financed the house redevelopment, and ever since, she has frequently argued with her mother over vacating the premises. On Friday, water from a pipe used to lift water to the upper floor spilled into the mother’s room, triggering an argument.The daughter’s husband intervened and allegedly attacked his mother-in-law with a bamboo stick,” police said.
