Florida: Punjab couple fly 13,000 kms to 'discipline' daughter-in-law, face criminal prosecution
The perpetrators have been identified as Jasbir Kalsi, 67, and Bhupinder, 62.
The couple reportedly travelled from the Punjab region to Hillsborough County to help "discipline" son Devbir's wife.
The victim, identified as Silky Gaind, had a bruised face when police finally rescued her.
The couple was visiting their son for about a month and reportedly held a knife to Gaind's throat.
Charges have also been levied on Gaind's husband Devbir, who threatened to kill his wife.
Speaking about her ordeal, she told Bay News 9, "I am so scared, because last night he was telling me he was going to kill me if I call the police. He would kill me to death, you know? He told me it would take 10 minutes for police to come and before that he would kill me and then kill himself."
