He said, "We married them off in 2016 with a lot of hope that we would see grandchildren soon. My wife is on medication. We treated our daughter-in-law like our daughter. There were fights. She didn't visit us. We used to request that we would bring the child up. We would be happy with a grandson or granddaughter. It's our misfortune that we don't have grandchildren."

Prasad added, "I spent all my money on my son. I sent my son to America for training. I gave him a lot of money even after he came back. I don't have any money now. I spent all my money on my son. We have made a claim of Rs 2.5 crore each against our son and daughter-in-law. We spent our life savings on him."
