A video that surfaced online showed a 75-year-old woman pleading and begging a police officer to lodge an FIR over the death of her 20-year-old grandson recently went viral.

In the video, the elderly woman, Brahma Devi, can be seen falling at the policeman’s feet begging him to register a case. Brahma Devi had gone to the Gudamba police station in Lucknow after her labourer grandson Akash Yadav died in a plywood factory.

Akash was crushed under a malfunctioning machine in the factory, his grandmother said.

After the video viral went viral on social media and drew outrage, the police inspector, Tej Prakash Singh, was transferred to the police lines.

“A report has been filed and the case in under investigation,” Pratap said.

"We will examine the whole video, find out the circumstances (of his death) and act further," Senior Police Inspector Harendra Singh said in Lucknow.

However, the relatives wanted a case against Ajay Gupta, the owner of the plywood factory. Gupta has been missing since the day of the incident.

Locals say the machines were outdated and needed severe repair.
