A Mother in Odisha was tied to an electric pole by her son for picking cauliflower.

A woman was allegedly thrashed and tied to an electric pole by her son for plucking a cauliflower from his farmland in Odisha's Keonjhar district. A dispute erupted after the 70-year-old woman ate the vegetable plucked from her younger son's farm in Sarasapasi village.
