The duo said that they have no money left after educating their son and financing his training in America.

Prasads' lawyer in their petition against their son said that the case portrays the truth of society. "We invest in our children, make them capable of working in good firms. Children owe their parents basic financial care. The parents have demanded either a grandchild within a year or compensation of ₹ 5 crore," said lawyer AK Srivastava.
