A man’s parents allegedly flew from India to Florida to “discipline” his wife for “being disobedient".
Authorities rescued the mother of a one-year-old, from what
they described as a “horribly abusive situation”.
The woman, who has not been named, was held in her home
against her will by her husband, Devbir Kalsi ,
33.
Police said his parents had flown to his home to participate
in the abuse.
Investigators believe Kalsi & his parents, Jasbir & Bhupinder Kalsi ,
had been abusing the woman for a long period of time.
The arrest report said Kalsi struck her “repeatedly &
forcefully” & when the woman attempted to defend herself, his parents began
hitting her too, leaving bruises on her face, neck & torso,
The victim told her parents in India about the abuse who
notified the sheriff’s office, Fox 13 news reported.
She was found with bruises all over her body & told
officers that her phone had been taken away & that a knife had been held to
her throat.
"I'm both sad & scared at the same time," said
her neighbor Stephanie
Payne . "I'm upset that this
was all going on right across the street from me & I never knew &
couldn't do anything about it & couldn't help her because that really
breaks my heart to know that a woman &
her one-year-old were being treated so poorly & were so
scared."
Kalsi & his parents are facing a wide range of charges.
They include aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, failure to report child
abuse & false imprisonment.
All three could also be deported back to India.
When officers arrived at the property to investigate, they
had to enter forcibly after they found the door blocked by Kalsi.
The victim was heard inside the property screaming to be
saved & asking officers to rescue her child.
