When 86-year-old Mr Sahoo purchased land in his youngest son's name and allowed him to live with him in the family's ancestral house in Baramunda, Bhubaneswar (Odisha), he never imagined that his son would torture and humiliate him. The situation, he claimed, became so unbearable that he was forced to leave his ancestral house and take shelter in his middle son's house in Pokhariput.
Mr Sahoo, a retired government serviceman, has three sons. A few years ago, his elder son and middle son moved out of the ancestral house at Baramunda and began living separately with their respective families. Mr Sahoo continued to live in the house with his youngest son, Sekhar.
