The two women who were arrested for assaulting their mother-in-law have tendered an apology for the wrong they had done.
Yumlembam ongbi Rejina and Yumlembam ongbi Premi alias Saya Devi were arrested from their residence at Luwangsangbam Awang Leikai Haotabi by Heingang police yesterday on the charge of assaulting their aged mother-in-law Y Kunjarashi (77).Notably, the incident came to light after a video clip was circulated on social media wherein Kunjarashi was seen dragged out from her room by one of her daughters-in-law to their courtyard and undressed her to give her a bath.
Speaking to the media after they were given bail at Luwangsangbam Awang Leikai Haotabi today, Rejina begged for forgiveness for the excesses she had done.
Saying that she will not misbehave with her mother-in-law again, Rejina maintained that she will accept whatever punishment is given to her by the Government and the people if she happens to assault her mother-in-law again.
Further stating that her mother-in-law is a dementia patient and she often soils her clothes, Rejina added that her mother-in-law also doesn't allow them to remove her messed up/dirty clothes most of the time and it is troubling to them.
Rejina, however, admitted that she misbehaved with her mother-in-law during that particular incident which went viral on social media and added that she was very tired at that time.
Continuing that she poured water on her mother-in-law as seen in the clip to wash away the excreta in her body, Rejina reiterated that she will not misbehave ever again.
Rejina also said that she doesn't have any ill-feeling towards her mother-in-law.
Premi, another daughter-in-law of Kunjarashi, also begged for forgiveness for being rude to her mother-in-law.
Thanking the Social Welfare Department and Heingang police for disciplining her, Premi said that she will treat her mother-in-law with respect from now onwards.
Tendering an apology to her mother-in-law and the people for the wrong she had done, Premi said that she will accept whatever punishment is given to her if she misbehaves with her mother-in-law again.
