Remember Leelavati dadi? The 70-year-old who was covered by journalist Barkha Dutt. The woman who travelled from Delhi to Mumbai to take care of her ailing son but was thrown out by him after she reached there.
The woman narrated how her drunk son beat her, took all her money and showed her the door all while sitting alone and crying at the Bandra station.
"My drunk son took my money, beat me and threw me out" @BDUTT in conversation with a weeping seventy-year-old woman, Leelavati, who is stranded alone at Bandra railway station. Without money, she is surviving on biscuits and rice
