Indian Man In US Called His Parents From India ONLY To Beat His ‘Disobedient’ Wife. WTF!

Women subjected to domestic violence seldom receive any aid from the society when their own husbands and in-laws become determined on making their life a living hell. A woman in Florida was repeatedly abused by her husband and when that was not enough, his parents were called in to provide aid to this assault.

33-year-old Devbir Kalsi used to regularly beat his wife, Silky Gaind, and even told his parents that she was ‘disobedient’. Hearing this, his parents Jasbir Kalsi, 67 (father) and Bhupinder Kalsi, 61 (mother), decided to visit them from India especially to “discipline” the wife.

On Friday morning, the couple got into an argument which ensued the husband beating up the wife. When she tried to defend herself, the husband’s parents started to assault her as well and the father, Jasbir Kalsi, threatened to stab her with a kitchen knife.

 

Gaind had expressed her distress to her parents telling them that, she was being assaulted and kept imprisoned in her husband’s house against her will. They then called up the police and said that she could be reluctant to go to the authorities because of cultural traditions.

When the authorities reached Kalsi’s home at 6:30am on Saturday, nobody answered the door after repeated knocks. Eventually, the wife tried to open the door and screamed for the Deputy of Police to save her and her child.

 

The police finally decided to force open the door but were faced with resistance from the husband who tried to force it shut. The deputy then proceeded to arrest the husband, and faced confrontation from his parents. The police found the woman “badly beaten and bruised over her entire body”. Investigations reveal that she was being assaulted for a long time.

Gaind and her 1-year-old child were transferred to a safe place and the authorities notified the Florida Abuse Hotline as well as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as the involved parties were Indian.

 

The husband, Devbir Kalsi, has faced charges of false imprisonment, felony battery, child abuse, and denying access to 911. His father, Jasbir, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon (knife), false imprisonment, child abuse, and denying access to 911 and his mother, Bhupinder Kalsi, faces charges for battery, domestic violence and failure to report child abuse.

Women seldom speak out when they are being assaulted for fear of worse things happening to them or their children, and society is completely content with hiding the ugly face of domestic violence under the pretext of ‘culture’, shushing up the victims by blaming them or by dismissing the crime as a domestic feud. It is this denial that is encouraging the crime and it needs to be stopped.
