The report further disclosed that Dharamveer allegedly attacked the children as they tried to help her, and they fled to their room.
Soldier recounted:
“I and my two sisters tried to save our mother, but my father threatened to kill us. That is why we left the place. My father Dharamvir while fleeing towards the sugarcane crop fields was brandishing the sword so that nobody could catch hold of him."
Alerted by the cries of the poor children, villagers also rushed over to their home and found Sundari lying lifeless in a pool of blood.
They called the police and Sundari’s body was taken away.
Soldier told Indian media that his father had become angry over tea before and often shouted at his mother, but had never hit her.
