Annoyed by Namita's reaction, Kumuda gave her a slap. Seething with anger, the niece collected a bucketful of hot water from the geyser and poured it on the aunt who was sleeping.
Namita then took a wooden leg of a 'divan' and hit Kumda leaving her writhing in pain, police said.
The girl, who had come to stay with the Tripathis' from Orissa two years ago was looking after household chores of the family, was arrested for attempt to murder.

106-YEAR-OLD GETS REVISED PENSION AFTER A LOOOOOOOOOOONG WAIT OF 8 YEARS!
The saying, ''its 'never too late'' could not be more true, when one of the oldest surviving WW-II veteran soldier to have served in the British and Indian Army, 106- year-old Khazan Singh Kohli, got what he most desired- the revised pension as per his rank, that of Naik Subedar, three weeks ahead of the two-day defence pension adalat being held in Pune on June 21-22nd at AFMC.
Kohli retired from the Indian Army in 1949, and has since been getting the pension of a sepoy when he should have got the pension due to a Naik Subedar. He will now get between Rs 5,000 and Rs 6,000 plus as against Rs 2,373 including a basic with arrears effective from 1996.
Kohli's battle began when he first wrote to officials concerned officials in 1999, but received little response. The family began to look into the matter since last year. His grandaughter, Gurvinder Kaur, who has recently completed studies in clinical psychology, said that,''the discrepancies in his pension have finally been rectified, and the family received the 'good news' on May 29th following a letter from CDA-P''.
The matter was taken up by the Pune Zilla Sainik Welfare Officer, Lt Col Shirish Karasgi (retd,) who urged the family members to put up the case. Singh's son, daughter-in-law and grandaughter began to write to authorities concerned and at various levels in May 2006. ''Initially, we thought it was going to be a big struggle but by January, we had got the feeling that we may just get it as the letters were quite positive. Earlier, we ran from pillar to post realising that there was no pension table available for ready reference. Some of the old documents with the bank were also not available'', she said.
Vide a letter (IO-44062/Corr/SP(T-IV) dated May 29, 2007, the records office of the Army Supply Corps (ASC) in Bangalore, has advised Bank of Maharashtra (from where Kohli is drawing his monthly pension) to pay the revised amount with effect from January 1, 1996. Gurvinder informed that her grandfather who is a strict disciplinarian on receiving the news was very happy and even proud to see his photos splashed in local dailies.
Khazan Singh Kohli has two sons and three daughters, he lost his wife 33 years ago.
When asked about his daily diet, Gurvinder said his day begins with a cup of tea, followed by pohe or something light, for lunch at 12.30 am. He has two chapatis and subji and the same goes for dinner at 9 pm.
Born on Spetember 3, 1899 at Dulla in R awalpindi, Kohli a World War-II veteran, joined the Army Supply Corps based in Dhaka. During the period he met Subhash Chandra Bose. He has also witnessed Jallianwala Bagh. He donated his 100-year-old service rifle to Raja Kelkar Museum in Pune two years ago in the presence of the then Municipal Commissioner Dr Nitin Kareer.
A happy Karasgi said, "Tthere is a sense of achievement, what is due to these seniors they must get and that too at the earliest''.
Around 512 applications have been received so far for the 81st defence adalat and the 6th in Maharashtra to be held here. Defence personnel from other states with any grievance are also welcome to register their cases, he informed.
Karasgi said several other cases have already been settled ahead of the adalat one of a Major General's widow who was drawing less pension. Some of the pension related problems are to do with lack of communication between banks and records office, or administrative where one rank one pension has not been implemented or lack ofinformation about the pensioners family or personal details, he said.
