An Indian woman on Saturday was rescued by Florida police after she was beaten by her husband and his parents who traveled from India to assist him with the assault.

Gaind was being held in the Riverview home by her husband, Devbir Kalsi, and his parents, Jasbir, 67, and Bhupinder Kalsi, 61, who traveled all the way from India to "help their son counsel and discipline his wife for being disobedient" after he asked for their assistance, according to Fox 13.


When an officer arrived at the residence, no one responded to a repeated knock. Gaind attempted to open the door and screamed for him to help her and her one-year-old daughter. The deputy forced his way in despite the husband trying to keep the door closed. While the deputy started to handcuff Kalsi, his parents confronted the officer, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Kalsi and Gaind argued Friday night, when he battered her repeatedly and forcefully, according to the arrest report. Kalsi's parents started striking her after Gaind attempted to defend herself. The infant was accidentally struck in the face while Gaind was holding her during the attack, the report stated.
