Vimla Devi, a Shastri Park resident, complained to the police that she had received Rs 17 lakh after selling a piece of land at her native village and handed over the cash to her younger daughter-in-law.
Devi alleged in her complaint that after a quarrel between her son Sushil Kumar and the daughter-in-law on July 12, the woman took away the money with her, said Ajit Kumar Singla, DCP (northeast).
