One user commented, “I hope strict actions are taken against the abusive woman and someone takes really good care of the older woman for the rest of her life and provides her with all the support and love she deserves. I hope everyone apologises to her on behalf of the sick woman who’s hitting her.” This reflected deep empathy and a call for societal responsibility.
Another user reacted with anger, writing, “Rawan ke sath sath iska bhi badh kar diya jay,” showing frustration and demand for harsh punishment. A user expressed sorrow, “I wish there was a way I could give her flowers and touch her feet and apologise to her with all sincerity, she did not deserve this and this is an absolute tragedy that someone has to go through this for such a long time at this age, I can’t help but cry for what happened.” This revealed profound sadness and helplessness against such brutal elder abuse in Gurdaspur.

Society Must Address Growing Issue of Elder Abuse

Citizens, communities, and families must take responsibility to protect ageing parents. Awareness, stronger laws, and respectful caregiving must come together to stop abuse and restore dignity for vulnerable elders across India.
The viral video forces society to confront painful truths. Elder abuse is not an isolated problem, and only action, compassion and awareness can end it.
