The daughter-in-law and her brother were asking the old woman to write the property off in their name as a gift for which she approached Mubeen, the elder person in the vicinity, for advice and help. The daughter-in-law has already taken about '19 lakh from Ismath since her son died.
Mubeen spoke to the daughter-in-law and others for settlement and asked them not to harass the elderly woman.

Following this, Kacheguda police arrived at their place and arrested Mubeen, who is a paralysis patient, his two sons, his brother and a friend.
